ROKI Collection Queenstown, an urban retreat on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand, will open its doors on September 1, 2025 in the heart of Queenstown, renowned as the adventure capital of the world.

“ROKI Collection Queenstown brings something truly different to New Zealand - an urban retreat that combines the tranquillity of a lodge with the energy of a hotel in stunning Queenstown, where you can immerse yourself in nature,” said Stephen McAteer, ROKI Collection General Manager.

“Every aspect has been thoughtfully designed to be a space to pause and breathe, a sanctuary of calm. ROKI is where gracious service, curated design and breathtaking natural beauty converge.”

ROKI Collection Queenstown will offer wellness, culinary, and adventure experiences for guests. Designed by Sumich Chaplin Architects, with interior design by acclaimed New Zealand interior designer Virginia Fisher, each of its 15 spacious suites, ranging in size from 1 to 4 bedrooms, offering swoon worthy panoramic views over The Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu. Each has a fireplace, private bathtub, and walk-in wardrobes.

For gourmands, ROKI Collection Queenstown will have two restaurants available to in-house guests and the public. Essence and The Terrace.

Essence will showcase a culinary fine dining narrative of New Zealand, fusing modern European influences with local produce, led by Culinary Director Paul Froggatt, who is Luxury Lodges of New Zealand Chef of the Year 2023/24 and revered in the culinary industry. This will also be the first time guests outside of a lodge environment can experience Paul Froggatt's cuisine.”

“At Essence, my approach is simple - to honour the purity of exceptional ingredients, letting flavour, seasonality and technique speak for themselves. Each dish is a reflection of place, memory, and craft and is designed to evoke a sense of quiet luxury and connection to New Zealand's natural rhythm,” said Paul Froggatt.

The Terrace, a seafood inspired restaurant, offers the best restaurant views in Queenstown.

It is an ideal perch for an aperitif, lunch, or relaxed dinner after a day of adventure, framed by two fireplaces for all seasons.

Guests can also enjoy the sophisticated yet relaxed Library Bar, also open to the public, and Conservatory, with a cocktail or a wine list highlighting New Zealand's finest. Private dining is available in intimate snugs, or the 3 - bedroom Brunswick Suite, 4-bedroom ROKI Suite or 7-bedroom Grand ROKI Suite.

For after a day of skiing, hiking or vineyard hopping, there is ROKI Pure, a dedicated wellness sanctuary where guests can truly pause and reconnect. ROKI Pure has a thermal zone, two private treatment suites an indoor pool, and a jacuzzi.

“We have moved well beyond the traditional spa model. Today's guests are wellness savvy and not just looking for pampering. They want wellness experiences that shift something. That make them feel different,” said Mr McAteer.
