The Rees Hotel, Queenstown

Beautiful hotel. We stayed here for the view but from our room it was obstructed by another building unfortunately. Great restaurant! Amazing staff who literally do it all - bar tend, shuttle driver, receptionist. Only complaint was too far to walk every time. About 40 min to town center.

Having no place for the van with attached luggage trailer get down to the entrance of the hotel was very poor. On our leaving there was a disconnect that the van was up there again and we were all waiting in the lobby as instructed.

Hotel is built on a hill. Very awkward routes to get to rooms including two elevator rides and a walk though the parking garage. There is a shuttle to town that is very responsive to requests, but personally I would have preferred staying closer to town.

A beautiful hotel with a great view. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, but I was surprised at how small the dining room was, so that people had to wait. One morning we were directed to a dining room on another floor, which was fine. I was disappointed that the walking trail to the central city was closed and we had to walk the highway sidewalk. We used the shuttle service to and from central city a number of times and luckily, we learned to make reservations. It was very timely and worked well. We had been told it would go to different locations in the city if needed, but that was not correct. But we made it work without any issues.

Everything BUT the a/c was great. 3 nights with no a/c!

The Rees Hotel was exceptional. It's one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in, with an unbeatable view and surprisingly spacious rooms. The quality and comfort made it a perfect stay.

really solid hotel. beautiful placement on the lake - ~halfway between airport and town. We did the chef's tasting menu there at the restaurant and absolutely loved it.

Spectacular view!

Can I give this six stars? Location is just OK, needed shuttle or car to get to town, but the view over Lake Wakatipu was gorgeous. Restaurant is extremely small, breakfast was hit-and-miss to get a table. Staff were wonderful, room was incredibly comfortable.

Beautiful views and the staff is awesome! We loved our room and the included breakfast was very good. The only drawback is having to take the shuttle to town. Many times it was full so we would have to wait another hour or just go ahead and walk. So the shuttle is great unless it is super busy, then everyone is trying to use it.
