The Nautilus, like several Napier hotels, is nearby the city center but removed from the noise of the famous Art Deco city. This hotel specifically is a waterfront hotel. The Nautilus is located at 387 Marine Parade in Napier, New Zealand.

Guests staying at the Nautilus can choose between executive level studios, premium suites and apartments. All 41 rooms of this hotel offer panoramic views of the nearby ocean, spa baths (four to a tub) and private balconies. High speed Internet is provided, as is room service and standard niceties like soaps and toiletries. Some rooms also have refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee/tea makers.

Amenities for this location include a licensed bar and an in-house restaurant. The Nautilus has a distinct look, as it has been designed to recall the age of the 1930s Art Deco movement. There is also a swimming pool on-site, not to mention concierge services. This hotel is a four-star accommodation.
