Novotel Queenstown Lakeside  

On the shores of Lake Wakatipu in the heart of Queenstown, a lakefront 4-star hotel sits steps from Williams Cottage and a minute from the cosmopolitan town centre. Skyline Queenstown is about 0.6 miles away and Coronet Peak Ski Area is roughly 13 km. Corner of Earl Street and Marine Parade puts you close to Queenstown Beach and the town's nightlife and outdoor adventures.

Babysitting is available (surcharge) and buffet breakfast is served daily from 6:00–10:30 for a fee. Wake up to crisp mountain-and-lake air from your balcony.

A business center and a meeting room with about 646 sq ft (60 m²) of conference space make small events simple. Express check-in/out and broadband/high-speed internet throughout help you stay connected.
