The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments sits directly on the shore of Lake Wakatipu on Frankton Road, a short drive (around five minutes) from central Queenstown and close to the Queenstown airport and Frankton's marina and shops. The property is a modern, purpose-built lakefront hotel rather than a heritage building, designed around uninterrupted views of the lake and the Remarkables mountain range from nearly every room.

A five-star lakefront hotel with spectacular views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, just a short drive from central Queenstown. The Rees combines luxury rooms and self-contained apartments with the acclaimed Rees Restaurant and an indulgent day spa.

The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments sits directly on the shore of Lake Wakatipu on Frankton Road, a short drive (around five minutes) from central Queenstown and close to the Queenstown airport and Frankton's marina and shops. The property is a modern, purpose-built lakefront hotel rather than a heritage building, designed around uninterrupted views of the lake and the Remarkables mountain range from nearly every room. Accommodation spans standard hotel rooms through to one-, two-, and three-bedroom self-contained apartments with full kitchens, making it equally suited to couples and families travelling together, and several apartments include private balconies large enough for outdoor dining while watching the sun set behind the Remarkables. Dining is centred on the acclaimed Rees Restaurant, which focuses on Central Otago produce and wine and has built a strong reputation independent of the hotel itself, alongside a casual lakeside bar. Wellness facilities include an indoor day spa with treatment rooms, an indoor heated pool, sauna, and a fully equipped gym, supplemented by business meeting facilities for corporate groups. Service is full-service and professional, with concierge, valet parking, and in-room dining available, positioning the property as a flexible base for families wanting apartment space, couples seeking a spa retreat, and business travellers needing meeting rooms close to the airport.
