Welcome to the Rees Hotel Queenstown

The Rees Hotel Queenstown was named after European settler and founder of Queenstown, William Gilbert Rees.

Located in a prime lakeside position, the hotel offers discerning guests a serene escape, filled with Kiwi hospitality, superb service, and a comprehensive range of facilities and features.

This is a place where you can just unpack, relax, and enjoy the views and the hotel's excellent facilities.

Where is the Rees Hotel queenstown?

Location: 377 Frankton Rd Queenstown

The Rees Hotel Queenstown occupies a prime lakeside section between the town centre and the airport.

With a complimentary shuttle service, and access to a water taxi from their own private jetty, reaching the CBD or the airport is easy from The Rees.

If you prefer to walk or cycle, it's around 3 kilometres to town, or about 5 kilometres to the airport. Both can be accessed by the Frankton Track which runs along the lake edge behind The Rees.

why choose the Rees Queenstown

This multi award winning hotel has so much to offer. 

If you are looking for somewhere a little upmarket, and don't feel the need to be near the attractions of central Queenstown, The Rees is a wonderful option.

With its range of room types, high end facilities, and prime location, The Rees could be just the spot to enhance your Queenstown holiday experience.

With a courtesy bus and a private jetty for water taxis, access to town is well covered, and the award winning restaurant and bar offer a high end gastro experience featuring local produce.

They have a selection of holiday package deals, and a range of high end vehicles to help you explore the wonders of Queenstown and the Southern Lakes. Their concierge service can build bespoke tours for you, a great service. Fancy a day trip to Milford Sound? No problem, they can put a tour together for you that you will remember for ever.

Any Negatives?

This is a 5 star hotel, so it can be expensive. But you certainly get what you pay for at The Rees Hotel.

We've seen some concerns about the inconsistency of the shuttle service to town, about a lack of views from some of the accommodation on lower floors, and about access problems due to stairs. 

So please keep these points in mind when considering your choice.

Queenstown's reputation as a leading holiday destination attracts visitors from around the world. The town is continually growing, and its popularity as a year round holiday option puts a lot of strain on accommodation here, particularly at the busy times.

New Zealand school holidays, the ski season (late June to October), and our summer months (December to February) are very popular, and it's not uncommon to have trouble finding somewhere to stay during these periods.

If you are planning a Queenstown holiday, please begin your research early (up to 12 months ahead), and make your accomodation bookings as early as you can. But please be careful to select a flexible rate, just in case your plans change. Also check the terms of your travel insurance.
