An Insider's Take
'French elegance meets New Zealand's adventure capital in this lakefront sanctuary where luxury and adrenaline coexist beautifully.' What's Special? Sofitel Queenstown is the only 5-star French luxury hotel on Lake Wakatipu's shores, featuring a world-class spa with Alpine-inspired treatments and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing The Remarkables mountain range. The hotel's signature restaurant offers French-New Zealand fusion cuisine with locally sourced Central Otago ingredients.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a lakefront room on floors 4-6 for unobstructed views of the TSS Earnslaw steamship's daily departures and the dramatic Cecil Peak reflections at sunset.
Don't Miss The hotel's So SPA features the only hammam in Queenstown and signature "Remarkables Ritual" treatment. Walk 2 minutes to Steamer Wharf for lake cruises, or catch the Skyline Gondola just 5 minutes away for panoramic views and the famous Luge ride.
