5-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

This is a brand new hotel, so there aren't many reviews online yet, but it's probably the most luxurious hotel in Queenstown. The room was very clean, and the wooden decor felt incredibly high-end. The minibar was replenished endlessly with delicious local juices and chocolates; I even asked the hotel for several more when I checked out. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is great, but it seems to be undergoing renovations. The reception, which used to be on the 7th floor, has been moved to the basement. There was no clear sign on the 7th floor, nor was there any prior notice. We dragged our luggage back and forth several times before we finally found it, as no one was there on the 7th floor. I booked two twin rooms for two adults and two children. At check-in, they initially only gave me one set of key cards. When I asked if both room keys were included, they realized they hadn't looked closely enough. As a result, they assigned our two rooms to completely different areas and different floors. One area even required carrying luggage up stairs, which was very inconvenient. My two children are minors, so this arrangement was far from ideal.

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.

One of our favourite stays in Queenstown! ❤️ The resort has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful lake and mountain views. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and waking up to the scenery every morning really gives you that “New Zealand holiday” feeling. We also loved how quiet it feels compared with staying right in busy Queenstown town centre — perfect if you want to slow down, relax and enjoy the surroundings. ✨ Spacious & comfortable room 🏔️ Beautiful mountain & lake scenery 🧖♀️ Relaxing resort & spa atmosphere ❤️ Great for couples and a peaceful getaway The only thing to consider is the location — it’s not right in Queenstown town centre, so you’ll need to drive or take the water taxi. Overall: 9/10 ⭐️ Would definitely stay here again for the view and relaxing resort experience.

Not bad. Each room comes with complimentary milk and is very clean. Without a lake view, the room would be type B, and with a view, it's type A. Room B feels a bit like an annex to A, but for the price, it's still good value. The space is quite generous. The hotel's location is excellent, and you can store your luggage temporarily. Just be mindful of the check-out time. If you plan on cooking, it's probably best to book a lake view room – it's well worth seeing.

The Ebb Dunedin is an architectural gem with beautiful art, comfortable rooms, and incredible attention to detail. Our experience however, was an overpriced hotel (500+ per night) for the service received. We arrived just 30 minutes before the 3:00 PM check-in, and despite our room being ready, we were referred to the mall across the street when we asked to use the toilet. For this price, being sent to a public shopping center is unacceptable. The parking was also an additional 25 per night, on top of the steep room fee. You’re paying for the aesthetic here, but certainly not for the hospitality unfortunately.

This hotel, nestled by the lake, offers breathtaking lake and snow-capped mountain views – a true feast for the eyes. Its location is excellent; while a bit further from the town center, it's an easy drive, and the hotel provides a convenient shuttle service by appointment. The staff are friendly and professional; the front desk warmly welcomed us, and there's a thoughtful baggage service. Our server was also very kind and enthusiastic. The lake-view room had a spacious balcony that offered fantastic vistas; we even managed to photograph shooting stars during our two-night stay. Breakfast was primarily Western style. We rented a car, and parking at the hotel was free. The room was clean and tidy. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Queenstown.

This is the hotel I can't wait to write a review for. It is located near the Queenstown Botanical Gardens, outside the city center, and is quiet in the bustling city. I especially like the hotel's facilities and services: First of all, I called in advance to inform the itinerary, but I didn't expect that I would be arranged to check in early, which increased my time for sightseeing as I only had one day in Queenstown; secondly, the room is large, beautiful and smells good; the hotel not only provides free snacks and drinks, Nespresso coffee machines, triangular tea bags, and even milk is provided free of charge, but it is also the only hotel in New Zealand that provides toothbrushes and toothpaste; the TV channels are also complete, and you can watch Netflix, just say it's good or not; a small balcony overlooks the cherry blossoms and the night view of the town, just say it's worth it; happyhour provides wine; especially the front desk, enthusiastic, smiling, I feel very comfortable. I will choose to stay in this hotel in Queenstown for a few more nights on my second visit, so that I can visit the surrounding towns. I’m not good at translating above into English, but I do hope this hotel could keep providing superb and hospitalized facilities and I want to thank the staffs for their kindly and warmly permanence!

Quiet place away from the traffic. Hotel is on top of the hill so expect some steep walking every time leaving hotel. $20 credits for the restaurant/bar if waiving room make up, which is a nice touch.

The location of this hotel is very good. It is right in the center of the town and you can walk to the most beautiful shore in three minutes. Anyway, it's convenient to go anywhere. The only problem is that you may have to look for parking on the roadside. The hotel room is really big, and the equipment and speakers inside are very good. It's also close to a bar, so it's a bit noisy at night. Everything in the refrigerator is free except alcohol, and there are unlimited refills. For breakfast, it is beautifully prepared on site downstairs. I remember that the big breakfast was about 30 New Zealand dollars. It is worth commenting and worth staying at.
