The Rees Hotel, Luxury Apartments & Lakeside Residences  

Perched on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, this five‑star waterfront hotel and luxury apartment complex frames the Remarkables across the water. About 2 km from the city centre and just a short walk to the lake, it’s a family-friendly base for alpine and lakeside adventures.

The property offers 60 hotel rooms, 90 apartments and five three‑bedroom lakeside residences, many with terraces or private balconies showcasing lake and mountain views. Rooms are individually decorated and commonly feature refrigerators, iPod docking stations, minibars, bathrobes and slippers; select suites include private patios. Accessible by elevator and set up for families.

Relax in the spa and massage rooms, keep fit in the 24‑hour fitness centre, or rent bikes to explore the waterfront. Practical perks include concierge service, laundry and dry‑cleaning, free self‑parking and a complimentary area shuttle within 3 km. Kids have playrooms and a library, and winter guests can access ski school, ski rental and ski passes—wake up to lake‑breeze mornings and Remarkables panoramas.

A business centre, conference centre and meeting room are on site, with express check‑out and complimentary wireless internet plus newspapers in the lobby.

An on‑site restaurant focuses on regional flavours, supported by a café and a bar/lounge for lighter bites and drinks. 24‑hour room service is available and full breakfasts are served daily from 7:00–10:30 (fee).
