Duke's Bar & Restaurant is the in-house bar and restaurant at Prince's Gate Hotel, 1057 Arawa Street, Rotorua. The hotel sits opposite the Government Gardens, about 300 metres from Lake Rotorua, and is a recognised heritage building in the city centre.
Prince's Gate Hotel was built in 1897 in Waihi from kauri timber and later moved to Rotorua, where it remains a prominent heritage showpiece. Duke's is promoted locally as carrying a long tradition of hospitality, with classic decor and a relaxed atmosphere. The bar is described by the hotel as having a private members' feel without the stuffiness.
The menu is a mix of modern and traditional dishes, cooked to order with seasonal produce from local suppliers and an emphasis on New Zealand ingredients. Table bookings are taken through an online booking widget on the hotel website.
The hotel markets conference and event space (described as versatile, technologically equipped and quiet) as well as weddings. It has two dining venues, an on-site bar and live entertainment. Room capacities and dedicated private dining arrangements are not published on the sources reviewed, so planners should confirm numbers and availability directly with the hotel on +64 7 348 1179.
Prince's Gate Hotel lists 50 bedrooms and suites, including apartments, and offers thermal heated pools and a sauna for guests. See more Rotorua venues.
