Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel

This chic boutique hotel sits just outside the town center with views
across parkland and beyond to the Remarkables Mountains. Design is contemporary inside and out -- the exterior is a sharp combination of natural materials and metal wrought in clean lines and sharp angles -- and the atmosphere throughout is relaxed but sophisticated. The property is well-maintained, and because there are a relatively small number of rooms, it tends to be quiet. The hotel’s public spaces have the feel of a modern alpine lodge and are on-par with many of the sleek chalets that we've visited. There are stacked-stone walls, comfortable armchairs next to floor-to-ceiling windows, and a cozy open fireplace. The hotel is mainly geared toward mature couples or solo travelers and often attracts guests with an interest in design.

The property is set in an ideal spot for exploring Queenstown and the
surrounding areas. Within peaceful parkland, it sits next to a quiet sports field on a residential street. It’s just a two-minute walk across the park into the center of Queenstown, the base of the gondola, and the shore of Lake Wakatipu. A 10-minute walk will take guests to the beautiful lakefront gardens, CaddyShack City Mini Golf, and the Kiwi and Birdlife Park. Queenstown Mall and Creative Queenstown Arts and Crafts Market are also within 10 minutes on foot. The Coronet Peak ski area is around an eight-minute drive from the hotel, and it’s a 15-minute drive to Queenstown Airport.

There are 19 spacious and light guest rooms at the Queenstown Park
Boutique Hotel. Guests can expect to see contemporary furnishings and decor with hints of the hotel's signature gray and orange. These are sleek spaces, with on-trend design elements like bleached out wood laminate floors, dark wood veneer paneling with high-contrast grain patterning, and a subtle vintage edge created with ornate metal chandeliers and black-and-white photography on the walls. There is also a Tower Suite which is a penthouse suite set over two levels with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and panoramic alpine views. All rooms have air-conditioning, underfloor heating, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, minibars, and safes. Every room also has a kitchenette with modern appliances that include a toaster, microwave, electric range, kettle, and mini-fridge. Guest rooms look over the alpine gondola or the Remarkables Mountains. The bathrooms have a glass wall separating them from the main body of the room that's able to be closed off by a curtain. Many have a freestanding bath with separate shower, and look in all is a sharp white-on-white design scheme with a good amount of counter space and contemporary fixtures. The upstairs rooms also have a spectacular glass ceiling in the bathroom through which the largest mountain peak overlooking Queenstown can be seen.

While there’s no restaurant or bar at the property, there is a
breakfast room where cooked-to-order breakfasts are available each
morning. There are plenty of options to choose from and reviews are excellent. Also very popular with guests are the canapes and drinks during an evening cocktail hour. These are free and are served in the lounge area by the fireplace or on the outdoor terrace where there are bistro chairs and tables, and a fire pit. The hotel can also provide made-to-order gourmet grocery and picnic packs. Skiers and snowboarders can make use of the hotel’s drying room, and there’s a conference center and meeting room for business guests. Wi-Fi is free
throughout the property, and free car parking is available underneath the hotel.
