The five-star boutique Hilton Auckland has been put up for sale in an international campaign.

The luxury five-star hotel features 165 guest rooms, plus bar and restaurant and conference facilities, located 330 metres out into the harbour.

Offered for sale by international expressions of interest closing August 24, Dean Humphries, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels' executive vice-president, has been appointed to sell the property.

Humphries says Hilton Hotels will manage it for the new owner.

Auckland Council records show the Hilton, at 141 Quay St, was valued at $44.6 million in July 2008.

All the wharf properties are on leases set to run for another 84 years.

The top floor of the development is the vast apartment of bankrupt property developer David Henderson, whose Kitchener Group developed all six buildings on the wharf. Henderson still lives in the apartment after failed attempts to sell it for about $10 million.
