Queenstown Hotels with Bars

This Queenstown trip involved three nights at different hotels due to tight availability: Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel, Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central, and Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa. Park Boutique left the deepest impression. Though not downtown, its location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet just a 5-minute walk to the town center. The service was exceptionally warm and attentive, with a nightly wine tasting salon. Breakfast featured a partial buffet with main courses ordered à la carte. However, each guest could only order their main course once. Ideally, a second order could be offered for an additional fee, allowing larger groups to sample more dishes. The best part was the practical facilities: a small kitchen, a bathroom with separate wet and dry zones, and a mattress that was perfectly firm and comfortable. Surprisingly, there was even a fireplace, adding warmth to slightly chilly evenings. In short, if you're heading to Queenstown for a relaxing getaway, Park Boutique is the ideal place to stay.

Traveling as a couple with no car, the room was perfectly adequate for the two of us. Queenstown is quite small, so accommodation options are limited. This place met all my needs; it's within walking distance to all the attractions and very close to the bus stop, making it easy to get here directly from the airport by public transport. The decor is new, it's very clean, and they clean the room daily. Highly recommended! My advice is to book early, otherwise, you might find it's fully booked when you want to make a reservation.

1. The hotel is located in a huge shopping complex with supermarkets, restaurants, and clothing stores right next door, so no car is needed. There's a massive shared parking lot, but it's often hard to find a spot specifically for hotel guests. The front desk will ask for your license plate number. 2. The room is small, but generally clean and quiet. 3. Breakfast is a buffet, quite good for a 'Western-style' spread, and includes fried rice. You can also make your own fresh juice (apple and carrot). Additionally, they have an EGG MENU. Just decide what you want (sunny-side up, over easy, or omelet) and tell the staff, and they'll bring it right to your table.

The hotel used to be called Holiday Inn, but after rebranding to Voco, it feels like an upgrade, doesn't it? The hotel parking was insufficient, perhaps due to too many tourists. I had to find a parking spot on the street, luckily there were some right outside the entrance, and it was free for the two nights I stayed. The hotel is located on an uphill road, so if you walk to the lake for shopping, you'll have a short uphill walk back, which can be a bit tiring. The breakfast selection was limited; on the first day, the hot dishes were square hash browns and fried rice, and on the second day, they were round hash browns and fried noodles. Other items remained largely the same. I guess this is typical for a Western breakfast. The accommodation price was a bit high. I didn't realize this on my first visit, but if I come again, I might consider booking a regular motel, as some of those seem quite good too.

The handsome men and beautiful women at the front desk genuinely and sincerely helped guests with their questions and needs. My three-night stay was truly fantastic! The rooftop offers stunning mountain and lake views, and the cozy fireplace makes you feel like you're in a secluded paradise. Getting around is super convenient. After leaving Queenstown Airport, you only need to walk about 100 meters to find the #1 public transport bus. Remember to buy a transport card at the airport bookstore beforehand; it's very convenient and cheap, especially if you're traveling alone or with one other person. One card is all you need. To get to this hotel (Leloo Hotel), take the bus from the airport. After about 20 minutes, get off at Stanley Street, which is a major transport hub, just a 4-minute walk from the hotel. You'll know it's the right stop because it's at the bottom of a big downhill road, with a large park on your right. The bus stops are conveniently divided into A, B, and C sections. Getting to Arrowtown only takes 25 minutes and costs 2.5 New Zealand dollars. There are many popular, Instagrammable shops nearby, like Fergburger. Even if you're vegetarian, don't worry, they all have Chinese menus.

The staff are nice and friendly. Good to have the water refill machine at the lobby and the hotel room is clean and tidy. The only issue is they have a limited number of carpark space and need to book for the carpark space in advance, but there are still lots of public street parking space next to the hotel as well. So generally everything is good and worth for money!

“Fantastic stay – highly recommend!” I had an excellent stay at the Cambridge Hotel. The location is perfect, within easy walking distance to major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with a great city view from the balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always going above and beyond to assist with any requests. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The facilities were also impressive, especially the indoor pool and overall cleanliness of the hotel. Everything felt well-maintained and welcoming. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, combining comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

You can easily reach the hotel from the airport by taking the #1 bus. It's about a 15-20 minute ride. Get off at the Blue Peak stop, walk back, and cross the road. It's also not far from the town center, just a 10-15 minute walk. The next bus stop after Blue Peak is the main town center station and the Intercity bus stop. However, be aware that walking to the town center involves going down a really steep hill, so walking from the town center back to the hotel means walking uphill. This is something to keep in mind if you're arriving in Queenstown by Intercity bus rather than by plane. Also, note that there are two hotels called 'Copthorne', likely related, but they are not adjacent. This one is closer to the town center and closer to the lake. The hotel is quite large, and surprisingly, you take an elevator down from the front desk to reach the rooms. I booked a lake view room, and the view was genuinely good. During the off-season, it wasn't expensive, only about 100-200 RMB more than a standard room, offering excellent value for money! The room was also quite spacious, really great!

Fantastic experience! Booking a one-bedroom lake-view room felt like a steal, especially since I got a top-floor unit – the views were absolutely incredible. When checking in, there was a credit card issue, but the gentleman at the front desk was very accommodating and allowed me to use cash as a deposit. Checkout was quick and efficient. A crucial tip: make sure to email ahead to reserve a parking spot. My mid-to-large SUV fit into the hotel's car park without any problem. Next time I'm in Queenstown, I'd love to stay longer!

The hotel's environment is truly excellent, with snow-capped mountains right behind it. It's also incredibly close to the airport, just a few hundred meters in a straight line. There's a supermarket and a street with plenty of restaurants nearby, making dinner super convenient in the evenings.
