Eichardt’s Private Hotel named among world’s best hotels by prestigious UK magazine

High-end influential UK magazine Tatler has named Queenstown’s Eichardt’s Private Hotel one of the world’s best hotels in its highly coveted annual travel guide.

Eichardt’s is included for the first time in the magazine’s ‘Top 8 Forever Fabulous’ category of The Tatler Travel Guide 2012, alongside the world-renowned The Ritz of London.

Eichardt’s Private Hotel General Manager Chris McIntosh said he and his management team “could not be more delighted” with the accolade.

“This is a fantastic award for the hotel as we continually strive for excellence in all areas of our business and this shows through in excellent feedback from our guests,” he said.

“We’re delighted to have won such a prestigious accolade from a magazine known for the high expectations of its loyal readership, as we continue to lead the luxury accommodation sector in New Zealand.”

Eichardt's Private Hotel is located on the shores of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, comprising a collection of luxurious suites with stunning views of sparkling blue waters and snow-capped mountains.

Holding leading rankings on Tripadvisor, the most widely used user generated content travel review site, this elite hotel and bar garners the highest accolades on a global level through its unsurpassed passion for world-class guest experiences.

The Times newspaper of London recently named the Eichardt’s Bar one of the ‘Top ten bars In the world with a view’.

Queenstown is the four-season tourism destination of choice for discerning visitors from all around the globe, known for its adventure sports, golf, skiing, wine, biking and tramping.

Mr McIntosh said hotel staff prided themselves on the management of bespoke guest itineraries that fully captured the spirit of the breathtaking resort regardless of season.

“After a day of outdoor adventure, Eichardt's spacious suites with its welcoming and stylish environment, luxury amenities including heated floors, Super King-sized beds and unsurpassed interior design, beckon you to unwind and soak up breathtaking lake views,” he said.

Eichardt’s Private hotel was acquired by the Imperium Capital Group in 2010, privately owned by Andrew and Sarah Cox.
