If you stay at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown by IHG in Queenstown, New Zealand, expect a clean, modern, midrange hotel that works well as a practical base for outdoor adventures. Rooms are comfortable and many are suites or include basic kitchen facilities, Wi-Fi is free, and the included breakfast is designed to get you out early for ski fields or day trips. It’s located closer to the airport and Frankton than the lakeside town center, so plan for a short shuttle, hotel transfer, or a 5 to 10 minute drive to reach restaurants and nightlife; onsite parking is convenient if you rent a car. There’s limited on-site dining beyond breakfast, so budget time to eat out, and book early in peak ski and summer seasons.
