Mercure Queenstown Resort

I agree with earlier reviews that the hotel is due for refurbishment and renovations in places. But. It is a beautiful hotel, still. For this price, where else in this area can you get a table at breakfast and dinner with those views, or sit by a stone fireplace with a glass of wine with those views, or snag a room with those views? It's right next door to a hospitality training facility, and if any students are training at the hotel, they are putting in a lot of effort to be good at what they do: service overall was excellent, and almost all the staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Special thanks to all three of the breakfast managers we encountered for all their help with dietary requirements, and to Hannah, Anu, and Mercedes at reception. I was perfectly happy to trade off the ageing decor and extra two minutes' drive out of Queenstown for a great rate, warm and friendly service, incredible views, and all the facilities of what is essentially still a five star hotel if you have the mindset to see it for what it is. We extended our stay by several days and would happily stay here again. Tips: Plenty of gluten free options. The walk into Queenstown is much shorter than Google maps suggests, but it is uphill for the first two hundred metres and will take longer for younger walkers or those with adaptive needs. Coming back is mostly uphill from the lake, or it's a couple of stops on the bus from the Crowne Plaza bus stop to the Heritage bus stop, and a short uphill walk from there. Or get off at the next stop and it's an easy 4 minute downhill walk instead. There's a beautiful walk down to the lake esplanade via the trail just past the Heritage bus stop -- much nicer than the sidewalk, and my kids loved it.

“Nice hotel ”

A great place to stay about 2 km outside Queenstown. A fantastic view from the restaurant, but with a garden view, it was not much to see. The breakfast was ok, but not a lot of choice, and the bread was very limited. The staff was smiling and helpful at all times. A place we can recommend, but … more

A place we can recommend, but too many hills if you want to walk to the town.

“Not as great as usual ”

We had dinner with friends as we always do when in Queenstown. Our friends were staying at the Kamana hotel and we wanted to show them the Mercure.

We had dinner with friends as we always do when in Queenstown. Our friends were staying at the Kamana hotel and we wanted to show them the Mercure. Lucy was exceptional and Malachy and Rose were excellent. A wonderful group of staff. The ladies had salmon and us guys had steak. My only negative with your dining ever was the steak. I have loved in the past your 400 GM steaks. Now we ordered the 200 GM steaks. The quality was great but the meal was underwhelming in content. A small steak, 3 potatoes and some veg. I don't understand food economics but the steak was too small for a quality restaurant and not worth the price.
