An Exceptional Setting Between Mountains and Lake

Occupying a prime address in the heart of Queenstown, The St. Regis Queenstown enjoys an enviable location overlooking two of New Zealand’s most iconic natural landmarks: the majestic Remarkables mountain range and the shimmering waters of Lake Wakatipu. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, vineyards and pristine alpine landscapes, the hotel places guests within easy reach of the town’s vibrant restaurants, luxury boutiques and lively waterfront. Often described as New Zealand’s adventure capital, Queenstown offers exceptional experiences throughout the year, from world-class skiing and hiking to wine tasting in the nearby Central Otago region, scenic cruises and helicopter excursions above Milford Sound. The St. Regis provides an elegant gateway to exploring one of the country’s most breathtaking destinations.

The Debut of St. Regis in New Zealand

Scheduled to open in late 2027, The St. Regis Queenstown marks a significant milestone for Marriott International as the luxury hospitality brand makes its long-awaited debut in New Zealand. The project reflects the group’s continued expansion across the Asia-Pacific region while reinforcing Queenstown’s growing reputation as one of the world’s leading luxury travel destinations. Developed in partnership with the Pandey family, the hotel has been conceived to deliver the timeless sophistication and legendary personalized service that have defined St. Regis for more than a century. From the signature St. Regis Butler Service to carefully curated guest experiences, every detail has been designed to offer an elevated interpretation of contemporary alpine luxury.

Contemporary Architecture Inspired by the Alpine Landscape

Designed to embrace its extraordinary surroundings, The St. Regis Queenstown blends contemporary architecture with the natural beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Expansive glass façades maximize uninterrupted views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables, while natural stone, warm timber and refined textures create a seamless connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape. Elegant public spaces, generous terraces and sophisticated lounges have been conceived to celebrate the changing seasons, whether framed by snow-covered mountains in winter or golden alpine light during summer. Throughout the hotel, understated luxury and timeless craftsmanship reflect the distinctive elegance synonymous with the St. Regis brand.

145 Elegant Rooms and Suites with Spectacular Views

The St. Regis Queenstown will feature 145 guestrooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and panoramic alpine scenery. Spacious layouts, bespoke furnishings and premium materials will create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication, while floor-to-ceiling windows will frame breathtaking views of either Lake Wakatipu or The Remarkables. Every accommodation will combine contemporary comfort with the brand’s renowned residential elegance, complemented by luxurious marble bathrooms, carefully curated amenities and the signature St. Regis Butler Service that has become one of the hallmarks of the brand worldwide.

Signature Dining and the Legendary St. Regis Bar

Dining will play a central role in the guest experience, with several refined venues showcasing both international cuisine and New Zealand’s exceptional local produce. The hotel will feature The Drawing Room, an elegant all-day dining restaurant and the iconic St. Regis Bar, where the brand’s celebrated cocktail rituals and sophisticated atmosphere will come to life. Inspired by the surrounding region, the culinary offering will celebrate seasonal ingredients, premium seafood and renowned Central Otago wines, creating memorable dining experiences from breakfast through late evening.
