Hotel St Moritz gets tick of approval

Queenstown put its best foot forward recently, proving Hotel St Moritz is the “perfect” place to stay.

Aussie company Lorraine Lea, responsible for luxurious linens, furnishings and home décor, sent in representatives to test out the hotel for themselves during a three-day incentive trip.

In total, 76 staff and leaders from across Australia (and two from New Zealand) descended on Queenstown after qualifying for an annual leadership seminar. Normally held in Australia, the company decided to head overseas for its latest seminar to experience a unique four-season destination.

Lorraine Lea’s director of sales, marketing and business development Anne Petracca said it was important to choose accommodation that truly captured the essence of the town’s alpine feel.

“We wanted our leaders to stay in a stylish and elegant hotel that encapsulates everything Queenstown is about,” Petracca said.

“The views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range and the stunning interior design, architecture and bespoke furniture at St Moritz all added to the experience.

“The hotel fit the brief of being easy walking distance to the town centre but not bang-smack in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

“A conference room with modern AV technology, free Wi-Fi, and the bar and warm fire in the hotel lobby provided plenty of areas within the hotel where our leaders could meet, relax, network and get to know each other.”

The group was met with a traditional Maori Powhiri welcome in the hotel lobby, along with printed personalised banners, customised signature Lorraine Lea cocktails and cupcakes.

The conference part of the incentive was held in-house at Hotel St Moritz’s The Den, the hotel’s stylish dedicated event space.

“I would highly recommend Hotel St Moritz to any company considering Queenstown for a sales incentive and conference. As well its idyllic style and location, it reflects the efforts of every one of their staff,” Petracca said.

“They’ve created a team that not only pays attention to detail, but more importantly guests’ complete enjoyment. I’d like to sincerely thank hotel staff and management for providing a memorable experience for our 76 guests.”
