Real Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa is often praised for its spacious rooms, some featuring cozy fireplaces, and the convenience of having a TV in both the bedroom and living room. Many guests appreciate the lake access and the availability of a water taxi to central Queenstown, although some find the water taxi a bit pricey at $28 per person for a round trip. The gym is equipped with three treadmills and two stationary bikes, and the breakfast buffet offers many options. You can find delicious meals at Stacks restaurant, though the location is a 12-minute drive from downtown Queenstown.
