We stayed here for a few days while visiting Queenstown. Of all the hotels we stayed at on our 2+ week trip, this was probably the nicest. It's a fairly small hotel, but the rooms are spacious and very modern. Generally, I don't care too much about interior design, but I have to admit our room looked really cool.
We arrived around 7 and the hotel's happy hour (with free drinks and snacks) was wrapping up. The concierge checked us in and showed us to our room. It was clear they really care about their customers. He also told us we would get a free breakfast every morning; this is the only hotel that provided one our entire trip. The breakfast wasn't your typical hotel continental breakfast either. There was a small buffet, but there was a cook who would make sausage, bacon, eggs, omelets, or whatever you wanted. Overall the breakfast was great.
Anyway, the room itself was great. You walk in and there's a bathroom on the right. But before you get to it, there is a small fridge and sink. The bathroom itself was rather unique; one wall was clear glass that would allow you to see into the main part of the room (there was a shade you could lower so you couldn't see between the two rooms). Back in the main room, there was a bed, tv and the other usual things. The room was spacious though, and there was a little nook by the window. There was also a large window looking out onto the balcony, where we had a great view of the field where paragliders would land. Also, the ceiling was quite high.
The hotel is a short walk into the heart of Queenstown and also to the Skyline gondola. The only bad thing I can say about the hotel in the parking garage underneath the hotel was too small and we had to find street parking. Also, there wasn't a good place to load/unload luggage. But compared to all the pluses, these are minor things. Our experience here was great. When we had a day trip to Milford Sound that left early in the morning, they gave us cereal and fruit for breakfast the night before so we could eat before the kitchen opened. I would absolutely stay here again, and I highly recommend it.
