Inhale the invigorating alpine air - then step out into the expectant evening and let the lights of Queenstown and canopy of stars guide you to one of the world class restaurants nearby. When winter's blanket descends over the town, the allure of open log fires, coffee aromas and cheery conversation beckon you in from the cold.

The hotel reflects contemporary provincial elegance, its modern features in perfect harmony with distinctive antiques and luxurious furnishings of this New Zealand icon. The rooms all feature a super-king bed, fireplace and mini-bar, a dressing room and bathroom with generous bath and double vanity, separate shower, heated mirror and floor. Each one is fully entertainment and business integrated with personal audiovisual systems, along with email and Internet access. All rooms are generously proportioned and the hotel has ample spaces for privacy and quiet, whether that is reading by an open log fire in The Parlour or enjoying a late morning espresso in The House Bar.

The Parlour is the ideal setting for lingering over the breakfast of your choice or poring through the daily papers, with the comforting crackle of an open log fire beside you. The leather wingback chairs invite pondering and even pontificating, and are perfect for leafing through a good book. The House Bar is ideal for comfortable interaction between guests and some of Queenstown's colorful characters. Comfortable sofas, mood lighting, a stunning fireplace and the attentive service you will come to expect distinguish it. Eichardt's sets its own standard for gracious, luxury accommodation with the confident strokes and flawless symmetry. Welcome to your senses and let them come alive at Eichardt’s Private Hotel.
