The Rees Hotel, Queenstown (NZ)

We have been fortunate to travel a lot and stay at some amazing hotels. The Rees is now at the top of that list! The entire property is beautiful and impeccably maintained. The rooms were well appointed, with a wonderful kitchen and laundry facilities, plus plenty of detergent. Which matters when you are taking part in a lot of outdoor activities with kids! The staff was exceptional; everyone was focused on making sure our stay was great. And the shuttle into town was so convenient. I would recommend The Rees to anyone traveling to Queenstown.

A stunning location with a beautiful view and a short walk to town.
Loved it!

This was my favorite hotel from our trip because of the excellent room, view, bathroom set up (bathtub!!!) and the most comfortable bed. The restaurant was top notch and had laundry service which was convenient. We will look forward to our next stay here🩵

All looks great on paper but the room layout is not great.
Pro: spacious living space, well appointed kitchen, OK bathrooms
Cons: lack of decent closet space in the rooms, very small rooms, lack of privacy for the primary room, balcony view by the building closer to the lake, location away from the city center.
Upon arrival we asked to have a higher floor room as we were looking up on roofs rather than the lake. One similar room was available one floor up (better view but not perfect) subject to a supplement. We paid out of pocket for the supplement. Unfortunately they did not have a larger unit and thus our luggage had to be stored in the living space.

Not the best from a location point of view was the only negative but a 5-7 minute Uber away from the action.

This was a fantastic top notch hotel. Staff was exceptional, great breakfast and on the water with amazing views!

Our fave hotel of our 14 day trip. Beautiful hotel, unbeatable views and excellent, friendly, helpful staff!
