We stayed at the St Moritz Queenstown for 6 nights to celebrate my birthday, travelling with my wife and our 8-month-old baby. We booked a 1 Bedroom Alpine Lake View Suite, and it was the perfect base for our trip.
The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the centre of Queenstown—but still peaceful, with incredible views over Lake Wakatipu from our room. The suite itself was spacious and well-appointed. The large lounge area gave us plenty of room to relax, and the kitchenette was really handy with a baby in tow. The bathroom featured a large bath, which was a nice touch after long days out exploring.
The hotel was well-prepared for our little one, providing a cot and even a nappy bin, which we really appreciated. Maddy at check-in was particularly welcoming and helpful, and it was nice to have my ALL loyalty recognised. We received our welcome drinks, but there was no upgrade offered despite availability in other room types.
There were a few small misses during the stay—housekeeping did skip our room one day, and on our first morning, there was confusion around whether breakfast was included (which it was, and was quickly sorted out). The hotel also advertises a “famous pinot tasting” at the bar in-room, but none of the bar staff seemed to know anything about it, and we noticed several other guests asking about it during our stay.
Parking is available onsite (at a cost), and while a bit pricey, it's really the only option as street parking nearby is very limited.
Breakfast each morning was great—the buffet had a good selection and the dining area has stunning lake views.
Despite a few hiccups, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return. The location, comfort, and warm service made it a memorable trip.
