"We selected this hotel for a winter ski break. It’s Very close to the airport and a short drive to the ski resorts. Central Queenstown is about 15mins drive. The hotel room was very spacious with a split level living room/bedroom overlooking the lake. Great breakfast and dinner in the evening. We enjoyed our stay at The Hilton."
