Hilton Taupo

Set on New Zealand’s North island, this hotel was originally built in 1889. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and stunning blue water.

There are 113 rooms, suites and apartments to choose from, boasting views out over Lake Taupo or the Onekeneke Thermal Valley.

Dine on dishes created using internationally sourced ingredients at Bistro Lago. Linger in front of the welcoming open fires in winter, or take a table on the balconies in warmer weather.

The hotel is just a short drive from Taupo town centre, so when you’re not making use of the tennis courts or heated spa pool, you can easily go exploring. There are also mountain bikes available to hire so that you can head out into the countryside.
