Eichardt's Private Hotel

Eichardt's Private Hotel has a history steeped in gold. Built as a homestead in 1859 and turned into a hotel during the peak of Queenstown’s gold rush, it is now New Zealand’s oldest and most exclusive lakefront address. Choose from 10 suites, including four two-bedroom apartments and a grandiose three-bedroom residence separate from the hotel, and enjoy easy access to the adventure Queenstown is known for – this is the World’s Best Ski Resort, according to the World Travel Awards. Locals flock to hotspot Eichardt’s Bar, where chef William Eaglesfield serves up organic dishes and bespoke cocktails.
