Hilton Lake Taupo opens
The Hilton Lake Taupo has opened as the first upscale international hotel in the resort and the second Hilton in New Zealand.
Managed by Hilton Worldwide, the hotel consists of the Heritage Wing - formerly the 1889 Terraces Hotel and which has been completely refurbished - and a new wing of 100 rooms called the Mountain Wing. Offering a total of 113 rooms, the two are alongside each other and have views across Lake Taupo towards the Mt. Ruapehu ski fields. In addition to the Bistro Lago restaurant, the hotel features the Cellar Ballroom with accommodation for up to 120 banquet guests; thermally heated outdoor pools; a spa, steam room and sauna; floodlit tennis courts; a fully equipped gym and a bar.
The Lake Taupo area - a 3-hour drive from Auckland and 4.5 hours from Wellington - is well known as a conference and incentive location. Leisure activities include trout fishing, hunting, golf, bathing in thermal pools, trekking, horse riding, boating and snow skiing. It boasts some of the world's best fly-fishing rivers and hunting locations, is not far from the famous Tongariro Crossing trek and has two world-rated golf courses.
