Queenstown Park Hotel
The cozy and chic Queenstown Park Hotel is in the heart of Queenstown's lively shopping and restaurant district. But you'll remember where you're at whenever you look out the windows at the scenic mountain views. The hotel is small, with only 19 guest suites, but puts an emphasis on personal service and guest satisfaction.
Architecturally, the hotel is a striking combination of modern and rustic, with plenty of natural stone and wood in evidence. Guest suites are expansive and well-furnished, with distinctive furniture, kitchenettes, plasma televisions, and large, comfortable beds. If you're into winter sports you'll appreciate the covered parking and dedicated drying rooms for your gear.
Complimentary pre-dinner drinks and snacks, gourmet breakfasts, and gourmet picnic baskets are all part of the service at the "Q."

Brown's Boutique Hotel
Blink twice at this charming boutique hotel and you may think you're in Switzerland. There's a subtle, yet strong, European flavor to this cozy nook adjacent to downtown Queensland that is pervasive, yet never over the top.
As with many small boutique hotels, the owners make a difference, and guests rave about the hospitality and attention to detail of Gillian and Donald McDonald. These hard-working Kiwis have been in the hotel and hospitality business for over 30 years, so they know a thing or two about treating their guests well.
Ten deluxe guestrooms, all en suite, feature French doors that open onto private balconies. A communal lounge and dining room, plus garden-like patios, provide space to relax and enjoy the company of the other guests and your hosts.
