A new build Holiday Inn Hotel is set to debut in Remarkables Park, Queenstown this December.

New Zealand’s first new-build Holiday Inn hotel in a decade, Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park, is set to make its opening debut in early December and unveil the first Holiday Inn ‘Open Lobby’ in New Zealand. A brand hallmark of the next-generation design for Holiday Inn hotels, open lobby transforms the traditional hotel lobby and separate eating areas into the one inviting, comfortable and energetic living space.

Mirroring a laid-back living room, open lobby offers guests a casual and flexible space to eat, drink, work, meet, relax, and socialise. Guests can move seamlessly between the fireplace, Giants restaurant and bar, media lounge, cosy seating areas, and E-Bar with plug-in power, Wi-Fi, and wireless printing. Open lobby is the beating heart of Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park. Here the expansive fireplace warmly invites guests to gather and taste a fine selection of Central Otago wines and craft beers from Giants Bar. Guests can marvel at the sun setting over Queenstown’s western peaks and settle into the evening with a board game or holiday reading in cosy, intimate seating areas.

The new multimillion-dollar hotel featuring 182 rooms and suites – many with mountain views of The Remarkables – is the first full-service hotel to open within the new Remarkables Park lifestyle development in Frankton. The hotel joins a multi-use retail, resort, residential, and recreational precinct to enhance Queenstown’s thriving community. Perfectly positioned to explore all sides of Queenstown and the greater Central Otago region, Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park is situated a convenient 5-minute drive from Queenstown Airport and 30-minutes to The Remarkables ski area.

Twin, King and Accessible rooms all include Vittoria pod coffee machines, robes, slippers, smart TVs with SONIFI STAYCAST™ for personal app streaming and free Wi-Fi. Natural tones such as eucalyptus and paprika feature in the soft furnishings, while bathrooms are bright and roomy complete with SOAK superfood skincare amenities. Families with children aged 12 years and under stay and eat free in Giants restaurant when sharing a room with their parents.

For corporate groups and other events, the hotel presents four flexible meeting rooms catering for small events for up to 30 people or larger gatherings of up 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 open lobby, with a drink and snack on the side. Guests will be rewarded for their stay at Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park through IHG Rewards, where they can enjoy member only benefits and earn points on every stay at 6,000 destinations globally.
