Roki Collection Queenstown

Style

Peace of the action

Setting

A Remarkable prospect

Two minutes from town, on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, Roki Collection Queenstown provides a calming antidote to New Zealand’s adventure capital. The Remarkables are rarely out of sight at this luxury stay, and staff can arrange high-octane (and high-flying) adventures. But a centring spa and two revered restaurants, including a fine-dining option, make it just as easy to ground yourself. And as you settle into your suite, with its soaking tub and staggering mountain views, that thrill-induced ‘argh’ segues effortlessly into ‘ahhh’...

Our Favourite Rooms

Each suite has front-row lake and mountain views, plus a bath tub and gas fireplace. If you're coming with your full posse, the Roki Suites’ sprawling balconies and alfresco spa areas make for a luxurious group getaway.

Poolside

Post-alpine adventure, recoup with some gentle lengths in the spa’s heated indoor pool (open 7am to 10pm) — or drift off on a pillowy day-bed.

Spa

Counting sheep is out at Roki. The hotel’s spa has a dedicated sleep concierge, plus three types of treatment, each aimed at all-senses unwinding. In ‘Rituals’, tailored massages, facials and exfoliations are used in tandem for top-to-toe relaxation. Opt for the signature ‘Reset’ and you’ll be given a self-care kit (with essentials such as a bath soak, sleep mist and bottle of Pinot Noir) and instructions for in-suite pampering. To reach new heights with your relaxation, go for a Rewild — a secretive wellness experience that unfolds in the South Island wilderness, accessible only by helicopter. And if you’re still having trouble nodding off, then try tuckering yourself out with a circuit of the spa’s Jacuzzi, ice bath, sauna and 24-hour gym.

Packing Tips

Your outdoorsy gear will depend on the season, but you’ll want a head for heights year-round — the concierge team have some dizzying helicopter expeditions up their sleeves.

Also

Swap tales from the slopes with your fellow guests at the pre-dinner canapés, included in rates and held in the living room every evening from 5pm to 6pm.

Children

All ages are welcome. There are several suites with multiple bedrooms, and each suite can have a baby cot and extra bed added.

Top Table

Bag a table right by the window at the Terrace. At Essence, go for a spot with one eye on the kitchen to watch the chefs at work.

Dress Code

Chic with an undercurrent of outdoorsiness.

Hotel Restaurant

Essence is the hotel’s modern fine-dining restaurant, where head chef Paul Froggatt brings Continental elan to contemporary New Zealand cuisine. Both the tasting and à la carte menus tap into the seasonal rhythms of the South Island, letting local flavours, such as king crab and Fiordland venison, shine.

Set on a glass-encased balcony, the Terrace serves elegant seafood against a painting-like landscape. The windows open in warmer months, welcoming fresh alpine air as you deliberate between the market fish and langoustine tart.

Hotel Bar

A pair of art deco chandeliers cast a warm glow across The Library Bar, where bartenders whip up sophisticated cocktails. And there’s a wine cellar and elevated bar snack menu you'll want to make inroads into.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served Essence from 7am to 10.30am, and dinner at both restaurants is from 6pm with last seatings at 8.30pm. The Terrace also serves lunch from noon to 2pm. The Library Bar is open from noon to midnight.

Room Service

You can order dishes up to your room all day from a dedicated menu.

Planes

The hotel is around a 20-minute drive from Queenstown Airport. Staff can arrange transfers on request (NZ$250 for up to two people, and NZ$300 for between three and six people).

Automobiles

The hotel has a car that can take you into town and the Four- and Seven-Bedroom suites include a private chauffeur service. But your own wheels will be useful for charting adventures further afield — plus you’ll pass some jaw-dropping scenery driving to and around the region. There's a private carpark with free valet service at the hotel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

In New Zealand’s adventure capital, a helicopter trip over the Southern Alps and a jet boat ride down Shotover Canyon’s rapids are two to tick off your white-knuckle checklist. In winter, the Remarkables are a hotspot for skiing (including heli-skiing) and snowboarding. Come the warmer months, hit the hiking and mountain biking trails that wind their way past alpine lakes. When something more mellow is in order, try a tour and tasting at one of Central Otago’s world-renowned wineries. Roki’s concierge team can arrange gentler jaunts, too, including mountainside picnics and private boat trips.
