One of Napier s most recognisable hotels is back open after significant damage caused by November s deluge forced its doors to close.
Last year s widespread flooding caused nearly 600 properties in Napier to be officially classed as flood-damaged after 237mm of rain was recorded in the city in 24 hours – making it Napier s second-wettest day on record.
The Scenic Te Pania Hotel suffered critical infrastructure damage across the kitchen and electrical hubs, as well as damage to the restaurant, bar and lower level guest rooms.

A reddish-brown drift across the ocean off Napier has been confirmed as an algal bloom unlikely to be a risk to human health.
The results of testing this week were revealed by the Hawke s Bay Regional Council soon after 5pm on Wednesday.
Team leader Marine and Coast Anna Madarasz-Smith said samples had been tested by the Cawthron Institute, with the most dominant species confirmed to be lingulodinium, which causes red tides.

While Napier s Art Deco Festival was officially cancelled over uncertain Covid-19 restrictions, many events plan to go ahead following the regions return to Alert Level 1.
Over twenty events will go ahead this weekend at celebrated period venues such as the Mission Estate and Masonic Hotel.
Like the plot twist of an Agatha Christie whodunit – rumours of the 1930s-themed festival s demise have been grossly exaggerated. We already have guests here ready to have a wonderful time in Hawke s Bay, said Hawke s Bay Tourism Chief Executive Hamish Saxton.
