Browns Boutique Hotel Queenstown in Queenstown 9300, open JanuaryDecember.

Browns Boutique Hotel commands a striking position on Isle Street in central Queenstown, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range.

The hotel's 4-level Victorian architecture sits at the heart of New Zealand's adventure capital, offering intimate indoor spaces and outdoor terraces with unobstructed alpine views.

This 26-room boutique property provides both ceremony and reception venues within a single sophisticated location.

Had a lovely stay at Browns. The room was spacious and clean, the little balcony was the cherry on top with a great view of Queenstown and a bit of the lake (we were in room 4). Breakfast was great too, albeit with a limited number of options; but there were still enough things for a hearty vegetarian breakfast. The best part was the location - it's literally 2 minutes from the main parts of town and the wharf, and another 2 minutes to the gondola. We woke up late for a 9am sailing of the TSS Earnslaw, left the hotel at 8:50 and were on board at 8:53. Kenza helped with self check in and was helpful always.
