Which luxury New Zealand Hotels and Lodges do you want to stay in when visiting Queenstown, the best known New Zealand destination and the Adventure Capital of the world? With rugged mountains, majestic lakes, crystal clear air, Queenstown has just so much to do. Experience the Luxury Queenstown Lodges such as Blanket Bay in Glenorchy or Azur Lodge, Queenstown. Stay in Boutique Queenstown Hotels such as Eichardt's Private Hotel & Lakefront Cottage or The Spire or use one of the many International Queenstown Hotels such as the Sofitel or the Millbrook Golf Resort.

There’s much, much more than just adventure. Queenstown is a sophisticated holiday resort set in a magnificent landscape and is a place that rarely sleeps. Sophisticated wine bars, live jazz, top DJ’s, long summer nights in a garden bar or après ski in front of a roaring log fire; there’s more than 160 licensed bars and cafés in downtown Queenstown and the socialite is spoilt for choice all year round, any night of the week.
