Coronet Ridge Resort

About this place

Coronet Ridge Resort is a five-star alpine resort at 146 Arthurs Point Road, Arthurs Point, perched above the Shotover River a short drive from central Queenstown and on the road to Coronet Peak. It is the redevelopment of the former Nugget Point Hotel, reopened after a multi-million-dollar transformation, and was formally opened by Queenstown Lakes Mayor John Glover on 12 March 2026. The resort is managed by Capstone Hotels. It suits corporate retreats, incentive groups and small conferences that want a resort setting close to the ski fields and the Shotover adventure corridor.

### Accommodation

The resort has 41 rooms and suites. Categories run from 37 sq m Alpine View and Shotover River View rooms up to 70 sq m two-bedroom Coronet Suites. Types include the Superior Shotover View Room (around 35 sq m, super king bed and deep ensuite bathtub), the Shotover Suite and Executive Shotover Suite (separate living area, dining table, oversized couch and writing desk, with the executive adding a full kitchen), and the Coronet Two Bedroom Suite sleeping four. Selected suites have outdoor baths facing the river.

### Meeting, incentive and event capability

Coronet Ridge runs dedicated Meet and Celebrate programmes. The purpose-built conference space is compact — industry listings describe roughly 83 sq m of meeting space with breakout rooms, configured for about 30 delegates boardroom style, around 20 in a U-shape and around 45 classroom style, with a maximum of about 80 theatre style. Audiovisual support includes data projectors and video and television equipment. Combined with 41 keys, the resort is well matched to residential leadership retreats, incentive programmes and mid-size meetings, and to full-property exclusive use for groups that want the resort to themselves.

### Dining, spa and leisure

Dining and drinks are at Elevation Bar & Restaurant, set high above the Shotover River with valley views. Wellness facilities include a Roman-inspired day spa with a treatment menu, a heated indoor pool, sauna and hot tubs, alongside a broader leisure offering. The resort also curates stay experiences such as Stay & Savour and A Moment to Celebrate.

The property acknowledges Ngāi Tahu as tangata whenua and publishes Māori stories connected to Pāhāraki (Coronet Peak) and Tāhuna (Queenstown).

For MICE buyers, Coronet Ridge Resort is one of Queenstown's newest five-star residential conference and incentive options, best sized for groups of roughly 30 to 80 depending on set-up.
