Fiji Gateway Hotel  

Opposite Nadi International Airport in suburban Nadi, Fiji Gateway Hotel sits in an idyllic garden setting. This family-friendly hotel is a handy base for pre- or post-island stays and is close to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool, and Denarau/Port Denarau attractions.

Expect a relaxed colonial-meets-tropical vibe amid manicured gardens. The hotel has around 95 air-conditioned rooms and suites with refrigerators and LCD/flat-screen TVs, private showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, plus safes and desks. Pool-view rooms and larger suites offer a bit more space; children under 16 stay free when sharing a room with parents and day rooms are offered for transit guests.

Two outdoor swimming pools (one with a waterslide), a poolside bar, tennis court and a gym keep things active. There’s a spa center, concierge, babysitting/childcare (surcharge), gift shop and limited onsite parking. Complimentary transfers to Nadi International Airport are provided and wireless internet is available (surcharge).

A 24-hour business center and a computer station support work on the road. Meeting facilities include a meeting room of about 646 sq ft (60 sq m). Laundry/dry-cleaning and a 24-hour front desk round out services for business travelers.

Two on-site restaurants — including Palm Court — a coffee shop/cafe and a bar/lounge set the scene for easy meals. Enjoy snacks by the pool or 24-hour room service, with a full cooked breakfast available daily (for a fee, typically served early morning).
