The Cardrona Hotel is one of New Zealand’s most iconic stays, combining rustic charm with modern comfort. Dating back to 1863, this heritage hotel is a destination in itself, offering guests a rare chance to experience a piece of alpine history while enjoying the warmth of contemporary hospitality.

 

Located just minutes from Cardrona Alpine Resort, the hotel is perfectly positioned for skiers and snowboarders looking to make the most of their time on the slopes. After a day of adventure, retreat to the hotel’s cosy rooms, styled with vintage touches yet fitted with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

 

The Cardrona Hotel is also famed for its welcoming atmosphere. The on-site restaurant and bar serve hearty, locally inspired fare, best enjoyed beside a roaring fire or out in the stunning garden during the warmer months. The historic façade makes it one of the most photographed buildings in New Zealand, yet it’s the relaxed hospitality that leaves the strongest impression.
