Hotel St Moritz Queenstown | Best places to stay in New Zealand

"Ignoring the faux alpine design, Hotel St. Moritz offers just about everything the outdoorsy visitor to Queenstown could want: stylish, comfortable rooms, a great location and enthusiastic staff. The hotel is set up for skiers, with its own specialist storage facilities, and the hotel’s elevation means fantastic views of Lake Wakitipu – but it does mean a walk up the hill to the hotel from the town below. There’s a good choice of room types – from standard guest rooms to two-bedroom apartments – and a full complement of bars and restaurants. It’s a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Queenstown – so the ideal base for exploring everything Queenstown has to offer. " - Mark Chipperfield
