Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park has now opened, making it the first full-service accommodation offering within the new Remarkables Park retail, accommodation, residential and recreational development in Frankton.

Conveniently located just five-minutes’ drive from Queenstown Airport and 30-minutes to the slopes of The Remarkables ski area, the hotel is ideally positioned to explore all sides of Queenstown and the greater Central Otago region. It is also surrounded by scenic trails for running, walking and biking.

Holiday Inn’s newest flagship hotel offers 182 rooms and suites, many with balconies and mountain views, and a ‘next-generation’ lobby which is the the first of its kind for the brand in New Zealand.

Designed to feel more like a laid-back living room than just a place to check-in and pass through, the lobby is a warm and inviting space where guests can kick back, relax, work, eat and drink, and meet and socialise. Free-flowing spaces allow guests to move seamlessly between the expansive fireplace, Giants Restaurant and Bar, the media lounge with Rolling Giants to-go Café, cosy seating areas, and E-Bar with plug-in power, free Wi-Fi, and wireless printing.

There is also a high-tech gym and a secure drying room and storage area for ski and sports gear.

Perfect for corporate groups and events, the hotel presents four flexible meeting spaces that cater to events for 30 to 200 people. The E-bar provides a co-working space for guests to plug-in and feel part of the social vibe of the lobby.
