Heritage Walk

Step Back in Time

Napier is world-renowned for its Art Deco architecture, rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake. Stroll through the city center and admire the geometric facades and pastel colors. Over 140 Art Deco buildings create a walkable open-air gallery, with guided walking tours available daily from local heritage experts.

The compact centre makes it easy to explore at your own pace. Look for the intricate plasterwork, sunburst motifs, and elegant shopfronts that define this distinctive period. Many of the finest facades sit within a few blocks of Marine Parade, so you can begin your walk moments after leaving the hotel.
