The Bar/Lounge at The Spire Hotel Queenstown

"The 10 en suite rooms, decked out in red, cream and black, have walk-through wardrobes, built-in gas fires, balconies and lovely touches such as Eames loungers"

"The ten guest rooms, decked out in red, cream, and black, have walk-in closets, gas fireplaces, balconies, and lovely touches such as Eames loungers"

"Helping to justify the brow-raising rates are free Wi-Fi, champagne and chocolates upon arrival, pillow menus, minibars, safes, flat-screen TVs with iPod docking stations, CD/DVD players, spacious work desks, coffeemakers, and furnished balconies with limited views"

"Decorated in rich, warm tones, our large and inviting Spire King Room is full of those little touches that go such a long way to welcoming you: gas fire already lit for arrival, free bottle of wine and bowl of fresh fruit, a warm rug at the end of the lounge to snuggle up with a magazine"

"The hotel's highlight feature is its chic restaurant, No5 Church Lane, which serves Mediterranean fare and has a trendy bar with an outdoor patio"
