Rydges Lakeland Resort Queenstown is a large lakefront hotel at 38–54 Lake Esplanade, a short walk from Queenstown's town centre. Most rooms look across Lake Wakatipu to The Remarkables. As one of Queenstown's bigger conference hotels, it suits conferences, association meetings, incentive groups and conference delegates, as well as leisure travellers.
The resort offers a range of room types, and a large share have views over Lake Wakatipu to The Remarkables. Free in-room wi-fi is available to all guests. Since late 2019, part of the building has operated separately as QT Queenstown, so planners should confirm the current Rydges room inventory directly with the hotel.
The resort has five conference venues that can host from 5 to 500 people. The meeting rooms have natural light, free wi-fi and views over Lake Wakatipu. They include the Queenstown Room, which looks towards The Remarkables, and Clancy's Room, which has large wrap-around windows over the lake and mountains. Together they suit everything from boardroom sessions to plenary conferences and gala dinners.
The building's dining options include Bazaar Interactive Marketplace, a market-style restaurant with views over Queenstown and the lake, and Reds Bar for cocktails. Clancy's Bar and Kitchen has also served contemporary New Zealand food for breakfast and dinner. There is a gym on site.
From the Lake Esplanade site, delegates can walk to Queenstown's restaurants, bars and lakefront. The region's adventure, wine and alpine experiences are easy to add to incentive programmes and partner itineraries.
With meeting space for up to 500 people, lake views from its conference rooms and a central Queenstown location, Rydges Lakeland Resort is well suited to mid-sized and larger conferences, association events, incentive groups and gala dinners. Planners can also pair it with the adjoining QT Queenstown for VIP accommodation.
