Queenstown
A historic lakefront hotel in the center of Queenstown with a small number of suites and a refined bar.
Queenstown sits on Lake Wakatipu beneath the Remarkables, and has grown from a gold-rush village into the country's adventure capital. Its small hotels range from a historic lakefront hotel in the heart of town to luxury lodges on the shore, a drive from the center.
Stay in town for restaurants, wine bars and the lake promenade; choose a lodge on the lakeshore toward Glenorchy for seclusion, with Mount Aspiring and Paradise just beyond.
It is busy in summer and in ski season (June to September). Winter is the time for the Remarkables and Coronet Peak ski fields; autumn is the quietest and most colorful.
