"On Fernhill, just a few minutes from the town center, the Heritage is quieter than other local hotels and has great views of the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu."

"Award-winning, sophisticated European-style resort hotel... situated above Lake Wakatipu with views of the Remarkables."
Star Service
"Perched above Lake Wakatipu, partly surrounded by beech and pine forest, this subdued resort is a favorite with upper-middle-grade groups and individuals who want regional flavor close to the action."

Frommer's
"Accomplishes the neat trick of feeling intimate, despite the fact that it's a huge hotel. A lot of that has to do with the friendliness of the staff."

"An extensive upgrade and expansion in 2010 transformed the ground floor of the 82-room Sofitel Queenstown into a Parisian-style lobby and lounge, as befitting Sofitel's Gallic heritage."
