If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Queenstown
Queenstown’s places to stay range from lakeside luxury lodges and boutique hotels to cosy hostels and self-contained holiday homes, each offering a distinct way to soak up the town’s alpine scenery and adrenaline-filled activities. For the best experience, choose central Queenstown or Kelvin Heights for nightlife and stunning water views, Frankton for airport access and family-friendly options, and be sure to book early for ski season or summer festival peaks—opt for a lakeside room for sunrise vistas or a holiday home if you want space and self-catering freedom.
