QUEENSTOWN — New Zealand’s most exclusive hotel offering, Eichardt’s Private Hotel’s ultra-luxury rooftop abode – aptly named ‘The Penthouse’ – will officially open its doors in December 2016.

Commanding NZD$10,000 (about Cdn$9,815) per night and complete with sweeping 180-degree views over Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, The Penthouse is the prize jewel in the Eichardt’s $6 million development, which also includes a new restaurant, The Grille by Eichardt’s, and two lavish Hotel Lake View Suites.
