The Spire Hotel Queenstown

An intimate, design-led boutique with just ten spacious suites is what defines The Spire Hotel Queenstown : each room has super-king or twin beds, a stone-clad fireplace, a large private balcony and generous bathroom facilities, making it a quietly luxurious base in the town centre. It’s a Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a credential that signals independently verified standards of service and attention to detail you can expect here.

Many suites look across St Peter’s church gardens to the mountains, and the lake is only a short walk away, so the hotel manages to feel both central and calm. The connected No.5 Church Lane offers handmade pastas, truffled focaccia and a locally focused wine list, while the property arranges spa-inclusive packages with The Well Spa and private Pacific Jemm yacht charters for sunset cruises.

This is a higher-priced stay aimed at travellers after personalised service, considered design and easy access to dining, galleries and alpine experiences without the scale of a larger hotel.
