DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Queenstown

Doubletree was a last minute decision upon arriving Queenstown from Mt Cook. Although it is pricey, no regrets getting a room here for 2 nights. It came with a fully furnished kitchenette where you could do some cooking but didn't utilize this since we ate out. One peeve I don't understand is the need to pay for parking since onsite (NZD$ 16 per nite). There's ample parking and for guests that drive in, this should be complimentary for stay duration. Location is outside of Queenstown but water taxi available from hotel dock. Recommend for the environment and fantastic room but giving 3 stars for facilities due to need to pay for parking. Location by the lake allows peace and quiet and also wildlife encounters. Front desk staff during checkin time was very attentive and helpful as well.

Nice clean room with a nice kitchen. However it's lacking in cookware. A stainer but no pot. Only thing available is a frying pan. Nice separate sitting area.

The room was so comfortable, everything was so pretty. The view was nice even though it was a little blocked at the bottom. The breakfast buffet was nice as well. The housekeeping attendants did a good job making up my room throughout my stay and the front desk agents were very helpful and friendly.
