Step into a realm where the Kiwi spirit mingles with the art of mixology at Our Land Is Alive bar, which is nestled within the renowned 5-Star Cordis Hotel in Auckland CBD. Its ambience and vibe are perhaps one of the most relaxing spaces in the city.
This extraordinary destination cocktail bar invites you to embark on an amazing journey that celebrates the very essence of New Zealand. With bespoke New Zealand-inspired cocktails, mouthwatering bites and a stunning setting, Our Land Is Alive beautifully reflects New Zealand's natural wonderland.
As you enter, you are enveloped by a rich atmosphere adorned in shades of deep green, reminiscent of the lush foliage that blankets the country. To me, the interior and the green colours remind me of the iconic Rolex green (a brand I love so much) but with a captivating twist; it takes on a darker hue, adding a touch of nature's mystery and intrigue to the space.
The luxurious browns and oranges evoke the warmth of the earth and trees. These carefully chosen colours harmoniously blend with the dark greens, creating a serene and inviting space.
