Above Lake Wakatipu, Hotel St Moritz Queenstown - MGallery Collection takes its cues from an alpine residence rather than a large mountain resort. Timber, leather and layered textures shape rooms and spacious suites, many oriented towards the lake and surrounding peaks. Lombardi restaurant and bar face the water, while outdoor hot tubs and landscaped areas provide a quieter counterpoint to Queenstown’s active centre. The town is reached downhill on foot from the elevated site. From the hotel’s principal spaces, Lake Wakatipu stretches below with the Remarkables and high-country landscape forming the backdrop.
