AKL Concierge smoking

[jim&laura]

We will be staying at the AKL Concierge in December and DW would like to have a smoking room - Savannah view.

Does anyone know where these rooms would be and what Savannahs they overlook?

Hi

Just went through this a month ago for our upcoming trip Apr 29-May7.

We also requested a smoking Savannah view room.

Unfortunately - the only concierge smoking rooms are on the 6th floor and are Pool View Only.

All the smoking rooms at AKL are at the very far ends of each "wing".

The concierge staff told me that if it was really what you wanted they could try and place us on the 5th floor - these are deluxe rooms as well but the smoking rooms are at the very far end and is quite a walk to the elevator that has key access to the concierge floor.

We stayed in a smoking Savanah View room on the 4th floor last year - we overlooked a watering hole on the Zebra Trail - it was a great view - totally recommend this trail. There was an elevator nearby that would take you to the lobby/pool area.

Have a great trip

I went through this for different circumstances. I really wanted to be on the 6th floor, but needed a non-smoking room for medical reasons. Well, I was then informed that most of the rooms on the 6th floor were smoking optional and those that were, faced the pool. I have been told that there are a few smoking rooms that face the savannah, but as previously posted, they are all the way at the end of the trails. A LONG hike to the lounge from there, probably 10 minutes!!!! We were half way down the Kudu trail on the 5th floor and it was a 5 minute walk to the lounge. So, if you don't mind the long walk, try to get one of the smoking optional savannah rooms. If you do mind, you'll end up with the pool view, but the lounge will be practiacally out of your door!!

About the walk, we were at the far end of zebra trail on the 4th floor in one of the smoking-optional rooms. I thought the walk would be awful, but it really wasn't bad at all, even with a 2 year old. It was very private & quiet as well.

I think it would be a nice walk, twice a day or so... but where I can see it being a pain is if you just want to grab something quick that you forgot... like your sunglasses or your sweater... then it would seem like miles... from the pool to the room and back to grab something quick, you would be gone 20 minutes! It adds up - but the exercise is great!
