The Novotel is a great business hotel - newly remodeled rooms with flat screen tv, warm colors, very comfortable, couldn't be better.
Location is great on the lake and one block from the center of town. The Hertz rental car office is right across the street.

Breakfast is too expensive - go to Starbuck's or McCafe around the corner. Make sure the computer in the bar is set for "happy hour" before you order your drink!

Novotel was lovely, clean, and situated right on the lake. Very nice modern rooms, and as central Queenstown is small, an easy walk to everything. Staff was friendly and helpful and the concierge was extremely helpful in booking our tours. I really loved this hotel and would absolutely stay there again, especially since the location at the lakes edge was beautiful.

perfect find- location was terrific, staff was top notch, rooms were chic and newly renovated, bathrooms were great, breakfast was expensive but good. Excellent value and 4 star luxury. we found no fault with this hotel, and loved QUEENSTOWN SO MUCH

This was a very well-located hotel, right on the waterfront and perfect for walking around Queenstown, which is a small place anyway. The staff were very helpful and could book activities for you, at no extra charge. This also helped them as they got free activities for every number booked.

The bar was quite pricey, but about usual for hotels. We received a voucher for NZ$5 off 2 drinks before 6.30pm which helped towards that!

The rose garden is lovely and most of the rooms have a view of the lakefront, with a balcony or decking.

The only small negative was having to pay extra for parking, but this was only NZ$10 per night, and the meters in town were more expensive.

A very clean, modern and pleasant setting for resting after throwing yourself off a bridge! Very good.
