Hours: Check-in 15:00, check-out 11:00 (HotelsCombined)
Per night (approx.): 약 NZ$369~768
Address: 8 Duke Street, Queenstown, a side street on the slope above the centre

A French-chain five-star one block up from the centre on Duke Street. The mall and lakefront restaurants are a few minutes away, but it sits just off the main drag, so nights are fairly quiet. The spa has a Turkish steam bath, handy after a day of skiing or hiking. Reviews keep coming back to friendly staff and comfortable beds.
