Quintessential New Zealand Hospitality

In the sunshine Lake Rotorua is a spectacular light show; the clear blue sparkling waters ringed by their green bush-clad hills. Then as night falls, stars fill the skies, in an electric symphony of luminosity and if you listen carefully, you can hear the swans musical whisper across the misty water. With unspoilt views of Lake Rotorua, you’ll be thoroughly immersed in waterfront atmosphere.

History

The Hotel was built originally in 1897 in Waihi, some 120 km’s north of Rotorua, from Kauri timber which was celebrated for its unsurpassed building qualities. It has endured trials and tribulations during its long and eventful history but remains today a prominent showpiece in the very heart of Rotorua.

Stay in the heart of Rotorua

Located just a stone’s throw from the stunning Government Gardens, the centre of much of Rotorua’s early history it is easy to see why the city of Rotorua was built around the historically boutique Prince’s Gate Hotel. These beautiful Government Gardens are home to the Rotorua Museum, art gallery and interesting geothermal features. The gardens also encompass a 9-hole golf course, petanque, lawn bowls and croquet, and a little further along, the Polynesian Spa. On the hotel’s other boundary, and just a few minutes stroll is the cosmopolitan area of Rotorua with a wealth of retail options and restaurants and cafes. To the north and just a mere 300 metres from the hotel is beautiful Lake Rotorua.

Perfect

"Stayed one night. Accommodation was in their adjacent building. Nice courtyard entrance to these units. Very well appointed one bedroom suite. Everything you'd expect and want and nicely decorated. Quiet and close to all the city has to offer. Great people and refreshingly reasonable price."

- Brian

Historic & Heavenly

- Kylie

Traditional High Tea

"Stopped by when passing and had the traditional high tea. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and the high tea was superb.

Lovely setting being in a beautiful old building and it's a few feet away from the entrance to the Government Gardens which makes for a lovely stroll before or after. I'd recommend this as a lovely treat one afternoon"

- Julia

Love the Character & Service

"My husband and I stayed here for our wedding anniversary and loved the character and charm of the rooms and setting. So nice to stay in a well equipped room that was interesting, refreshing and not "just another hotel room".

The hotel staff were incredibly helpful, we loved the hot pools - both indoor and outdoor plunge, and it was so central - a short and enjoyable walk to Eat Street to get to our favorite restaurant. Definitely plan on coming back again."

- Kidsteel

A feel of Yesteryear

"I was there for one night, we had a business meeting in the hotel over two days. The establishment because of the age and style of the building is unique in itself. The location is good and i found staff to be most friendly.

I enjoyed the bar meal at night and the breakfast in the morning and would be happy to stay again"
