Hotels in Queenstown

Steve and Jeanette Brough are well-traveled hosts who know just how to achieve that delicate balance of providing guests with both privacy....and everything they need. They’re both stellar cooks and breakfast is a highlight of staying here, though guests also appreciate the…

This isn't your typical doily-laden B&B. The decor here is proudly contemporary. But other than that you'll get all the comforts of a more typical B&B. These include a terrific, and daily changing, breakfast; personal advice from Alex, the very attentive host; and supremely…

Virginia Fisher is the style maven/genius behind the decor of this swelegant retreat, and she doesn't miss a trick, from casually throwing possum fur rugs on the humongous beds to putting bathtubs big enough for couples in the bathroom to kitting out each suite and apartment with the…

Smart, great-value apartments, each provides a private courtyard at ground-level or a balcony upstairs, plus everything you’ll need for a very comfortable, fully self-contained stay. That includes very well-equipped kitchens (with washing machines and laundry facilities!), dining…

Opened in 1992, this award-winning resort is a fabulous place for families to stay. Rooms are all beautiful and oversized, beds are huge, and in addition to the golf course, day spa, pool, and gym, there’s acres of land for kids to romp around.

Little houses dot a tree-covered hillside at Pinewood Lodge; these include a dorm, private double cabins, a kitchen, and lounges. Pinewood is particularly popular with cyclists, as it has a bike shop right on property. We'd say it's a solid choice if you want quality budget digs and…

This delightful B&B offers large apartments with their own decks, kitchens, and living rooms as well as handsomely decorated rooms in the main house. In both, you'll find freshly cut flowers from the garden on your arrival, a touch that is telling of the warm welcome visitors…

These bright, contemporary, roomy apartments and hotel rooms have a lot to recommend them. The apartment units have modern kitchens and an unusual amount of space. The hotel rooms are somewhat smaller, but share the same contemporary sensibility with sleek leather armchairs, large…

What's there not to like about the Sofitel? The location is within walking distance of everything you'd want to see. Rooms have a streamlined simplicity, with burnished wood panels behind the very comfortable beds, large windows and a good amount of space. The bathrooms are downright…

At the dairy, they feed you right....and it goes well beyond milk products (the owners are former chefs). Breakfast is a gourmet feast (eggs benedict, buttery croissants, fruits, fluffy pancakes, you name it); the honesty bar is well-stocked and reasonably priced; and the included…

The Heritage accomplishes the neat trick of feeling intimate, despite the fact that it's a huge hotel. A lot of that has to do with the friendliness of the staff, a group who bend over backwards to make sure guests are well tended. Heck, they'll even bring out marshmallows in the…

The 1- to 4-bedroom apartments here offer some of the best views of any hotel in town. The hotel sits on Lake Wakatipu, a short drive east ofthe city center (they offer a free shuttle to town). You’ll love extra touches like the library filled with its rare books, a cellar filled…
