IHG hotel on Beach Street by Steamer Wharf: lake-view rooms, heated ski gear storage and free winter buses to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.
Crowne Plaza Queenstown sits at 93 Beach Street, a minute's walk from Steamer Wharf and its restaurants and bars, with the town centre just behind and Lake Wakatipu out front. Rooms look over the lake and The Remarkables or back towards the hills, some with a balcony or courtyard.
In winter it earns its keep as a ski base: there's a heated storage room for snow gear, free return bus transfers to Coronet Peak or The Remarkables, and a concierge who handles activity bookings year-round.
threesixty Restaurant & Bar covers breakfast and dinner, with The Balcony for a drink above the wharf. Book direct through IHG at queenstown.crowneplaza.com or call +64 3 441 0095.
