The hotel was strategically situated in front of Mt. Cook. The views from our room were spectacular!
ArubaComfortable room. Bathroom was clean and views were spectacular. Not much of a choice though given there are only a few places to stay in the area, but this place was nice.
SingaporeIn the heart of Mt Cook village. Food choices were excellent
SingaporeThe views are absolutely stunning. The hotel building itself is thoughtfully designed to make the most of that spectacular scenery. And the onsite dining was wonderful (I'm usually skeptical of buffets but they hit it out of the park).
United States of AmericaThe view from our room took my breath away... it never got old. We actually chose to move the couch in front of the picture window and spend the first evening staring out the window through the end of sunset with a nice bottle of wine. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very professional.
United States of AmericaThe location of the hotel is simply stunning - located at the end of the road, between these amazing mountains where there is no other way but back. The view from the room was equally mesmerising.
New ZealandThe staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They are awesome. Historic hotel with perfect location!
ChinaBreakfast excellent. Front desk terrific. Location spectacular.
