Eichardt's Private Hotel is iconic to Queenstown, having served as an important hotel since the Gold Rush dating from the 1860's. Today, with the most recent fabulous reinvention that includes the work of Virginia Fisher, one of New Zealand's top interior designers, it offers a fashionable resting place in this bustling tourist town on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
You can breakfast in your suite, or enjoy one of New Zealand's famous coffees in the House Bar. Lunch in the Parlour or in one of the many local restaurants. Eichardt's provides an urban retreat in a land of rugged mountains that is generally perceived as an international adrenaline playground of epic proportions (which it is). In Queenstown, however, you can also shop, visit museums, linger in coffee shops and bars, sample the entertainment and night life, and test your luck in a casino. And close by, there are award-winning wineries and heritage-listed national parks.
