It has 82 rooms, complemented by gourmet Vie Restaurant, martini and champagne bar Nue Lounge, LeSpa and newly introduced Left Bank Café.

Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa is now the No. 1 hotel in New Zealand. It earned in mid-April 2011 the aspirational “Exclusive” accommodation category by Qualmark; New Zealand tourism’s official quality assurance system. There are no other hotels in the Exclusive category, only a handful of high-end boutique villas and lodges.
Qualmark Exclusive status was developed to help international travelers easily identify New Zealand’s upmarket accommodation options, and as the name suggests, Exclusive status is for establishments that are truly at the top of New Zealand’s accommodation market.
Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa’s General Manager Wouter De Graaf told the press, “Our hotel certainly meets the definition of a Qualmark Exclusive hotel to the letter; intimate, elegant and sophisticated offering true privacy aimed at the luxury traveler.
