Queenstown / Eichardt's Private Hotel

Once the haunt of local gold miners, this renowned Queenstown landmark is now a fashionable, small hotel that’s setting new standards of hospitality on South Island. The most awarded private hotel in the country and Queenstown’s premier lakefront address, it draws a loyal clientele with elegant touches in the seven suites and two bedroom Penthouse suites such as fireplaces and your own personal deluxe mini bar. Bathrooms are large and opulent, while beds are super king-size and the in-room entertainment is state-of-the-art. Rooms offer unforgettable views of Lake Wakatipu or the towering mountains; a separate building houses four lakefront apartments. The historic Eichardt’s bar is a local icon and is the only bar in Queenstown that serves Champagne Bollinger by the glass, whilst providing an atmospheric spot to relax whilst the town’s restaurants are close by. With its comfortable sofas, cosy fireplace and gracious service, guests can savour excellent lunchtime tapas and indulge in signature cocktails including Eichardt’s Smoked Espresso Martini and Eichardt’s Mule.
