The Sofitel Queenstown is located in the heart of this alpine town and only 20 minutes from the nearest ski fields. The Sofitel embraces its French origins and features unique French art throughout the hotel, with its authentic Parisian sidewalk cafe being a lovely spot for breakfast. Combine these chic French features with classic, sophisticated New Zealand modern design and this boutique property is simply stunning.

Each elegant room and suite at the Sofitel is thoughtfully designed, with huge bath tubs and the softest of furnishings. The opulent and stylish rooms provide intimacy, sophistication and warmth with exquisite attention to detail including little French touches, which add to the experience.

Vie Restaurant is on the third floor and overlooks a tranquil waterfall and landscaped gardens - here you can enjoy fresh seasonal produce in an elegant setting. The more casual Parisian style Left Bank cafe serves breakfasts, light lunches and afternoon teas in a pavement style cafe, great for people watching.

Le Spa at Sofitel is designed to reflect the beauty of the South Island and after a day of skiing or exploring, relax with a Hammam steam treatment and a Maori treatment or massage in this tranquil retreat.

Top tip:

Inspired by the beautiful Central Otago landscape, Le Spa at Sofitel is fabulous. I had a relaxing Hammam before their signature Greenstone Ritual - the greenstone is believed to possess intuitive healing and harmonising properties.
