About Roki Collection

In a town as adrenaline-spiked as Queenstown, the adventure capital of the Southern Hemisphere, it’s hard to make much noise. Yet the opening of Roki, a polished new luxury hotel on the edge of Lake Wakatipu but right in the heart of town, has done just that. Sure, the location is ideal—a two-minute walk from the thick of things—but the service steals the show. Adventure towns run on logistics: lift passes to organize, instructors to book, gear to rent, cars to load. At Roki, all of that is handled before finishing one’s sentence. Black Defenders await out front, ready to ferry guests to ski fields, vineyards, or long lunches. Sweeping over The Remarkables, helicopters touch down on glaciers and in hidden alpine valleys. In winter a ski concierge sorts passes and equipment; in summer the same precision is applied to mountain biking, hiking, and heli-picnics. There’s also a Rolls-Royce on standby, because why not? Snacks come in the form of dainty lobster rolls topped with ice-cold caviar, and evenings are spent dining on multicourse menus by chef Paul Froggatt, one of New Zealand’s most respected talents. The dove gray, glass-fronted rooms range from one- and two-bedrooms to top-floor suites that can be configured into a seven-room, full-floor retreat complete with sauna. All views point toward the Central Otago skyline, accompanied by the clinking of Blanc de Blancs in the background. *From $1,994. —Chloe Sachdev*
