Azur Lodge
Luxe lakeside lodges
Lush Queenstown hillside
Fancy waking up in bed with a knock-out view of New Zealand wilderness? Set on a steep hillside two miles west of Queenstown, luxury boutique hotel Azur Lodge and its nine contemporary private villas command stunning, uninterrupted vistas of Lake Wakatipu, the majestic Remarkables range and Cecil and Walter Peaks. The freestanding stone and silver beechwood villas make the most of this alpine panorama with floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors that open onto a spacious deck – and a spa bath designed to make you feel like you're bathing outdoors.
Food & Drink
Top Table
Take tea or early evening drinks and canapés in the popular guest lounge or its adjacent patio for fab views.
Dress Code
A high-performance fleece for that ‘mountain climber at rest’ look.
Hotel Restaurant
Azur Lodge doesn’t have a restaurant but it does provide breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks and canapés. In-room dining can be arranged (eat out on the deck for sublime views) or the concierge can book you into the best local restaurants.
Hotel Bar
Although there’s no dedicated public bar, there’s a sociable drinks scene at Azur. Each evening a buffet bar is set up in the main lodge with a tempting selection of local wines, spirits and beer for guests to quaff before dinner.
Last Orders
Breakfast is served from 7am to mid-afternoon, so you can lie in late. The pancakes are a great pick-me-up, or they'll take special requests from burritos to Japanese omelettes.
Room Service
Meals can be ordered in from local restaurants until 10pm, and your table set and cleared by Azur’s staff. Burgers, pizza or Thai can also be sourced for a 20 per cent fee.
