An absolutely stunning location; more so than any of the luxury lodges we've had the pleasure of staying with to date. Adding to the experience is an utterly charming team of staff; each of them prompt and polite, interested and interesting - we felt very well taken care of, indeed. Thank you to all of you at Azur for providing the highlight of our time in Queenstown.

Outstanding accommodation - spacious and cleaned to a very high standard. We had a garden which looked out onto the mountain - the gondolas and paragliding. The kitchen facilities had everything you needed - jars of tea/coffee - some lovely touches which made it feel homely. Situated perfectly to explore Queenstown and its many activities and restaurants. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again!

    Overall the hotel was very average certainly not what we were expecting (having stayed previously in 3 other Sofitel hotels). Decor was very dated and not tasteful at all. Restaurant and bar closed!! 5 stars NO! Crazy ……..
