Eichardt’s Private Hotel is a landmark luxury hotel in the centre of the city

which has acquired a reputation as the world's capital of adventure sports. For those seeking pure indulgence, few places compare with Eichardt’s on the lakefront in beautiful Queenstown, set in the heart of the Southern Alps on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. As an Iconic landmark, Eichardt’s Private Hotel, was built on the back of the gold-mining boom in the mid 19th century and bears the name of former owners Albert and Julia Eichardt. On the shores of Lake Wakatipu, this elegant downtown retreat retains many of its original features, with supreme comfort and a home-from-home welcome.
Antiques mingle with modern colours, glossy touches and designer furniture. This is elegance epitomised without any stuffiness. The wing-backed chairs by the fire in the parlour are the best place to relax before sipping pre-dinner cocktails from the House Bar.
Step outside and you are in the heart of the town’s premier restaurant and café precinct. Designer shops are within easy walking distance, there are plenty of gourmet dining choices and our team can ensure you get the best seat in the house.
This gold rush town has become the epitome of Victorian elegance and the Queenstown Historical Society rightly holds the Eichardt's Private Hotel, in great reverence. As a visitor yourself, the first thing to smite your senses is the extraordinary loveliness of its location - on the edge of the lake whose fathomless still waters invert the brooding majesty of the encircling mountains.
