The Rees Hotel Queenstown

The Rees Hotel Queenstown blends chic five-star accommodation with the comforts of home and the superb, intuitive service and facilities of an elite international hotel. Situated on the absolute lakefront, The Rees’ terraced construction delivers privacy and panoramic views overlooking Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables Mountains in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Accommodation options include sixty spacious hotel-style rooms and ninety luxury apartments, all with huge balconies as well as five private, three-bedroom, three-bathroom Lakeside Residences with terraces. Architecture and furniture designs are by local artisans and the history of Queenstown’s early settler and developer, William Rees, is enshrined in the valuable library and art for guests to enjoy. The Rees’ awarded True South Dining Room provides fine dining options sourced from local suppliers’ seasonal produce and a globally recognised wine list. Local calls and 200+ on-demand in-room movies are complimentary along with Sky (cable) channels and Wi-Fi.

The Winter Family Getaway with the Rees

Travelling with kids is a breeze at The Rees with The Winter Family Getaway for two adults and two children (up to 12 years). Enjoy a hassle-free stay by leaving all the details up to the hotel’s ski concierge, who can book everything on your behalf, including all your ski equipment prior to arrival.

The fun starts at check-in when the kids receive an array of activities including board games, cards and colouring books. They will be kept busy with an array of movies – which are updated monthly – and popcorn. Snuggle up to the cosy fireplace and enjoy the breathtaking lake and mountain views of the Executive Lake View Two Bedroom Apartment, which comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen, super king beds for the adults and Italian designed bathrooms.

After a busy day on the slopes, the ‘Taste of the True South’ degustation menu pairs perfectly with the wine pairings chosen by the in-house sommelier, and is the perfect treat for the parents while the kids have fun with the in-house babysitters.
