What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms and suites pair rattan pendant lights and timber headboards with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountain landscape; select suites add outdoor baths and direct river views.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Jet boats carve through the river canyon directly below. Central Queenstown sits ten minutes away along the scenic gorge road.
The rooms
Timber headboards, rattan accents, and private balconies frame the alpine landscape across forty-one understated suites.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The heated indoor pool rests beneath a domed ceiling alcove, with wide picture windows looking out across the canyon.
The gym
Treadmills face the mountain landscape through large windows, and an indoor squash court is available on site.
Elevation Bar & Restaurant
Central Otago wines are poured beside stacked firewood partitions, and the outdoor terrace looks toward the mountain ridges.
How it began
The property began in 1988 as one of Queenstown's earliest luxury resorts, and still preserves its marble-columned Roman pool hall.
