QT Queenstown design elements, such as exposed surfaces, a herringbone pattern on the floor, and leather straps, came from an original story channelling outdoor sports gear, ski gear, T-bars and gondolas. The property’s eclectic spaces dare guests to adventure into the wild or enjoy the beautiful tranquillity of Queenstown.

The design philosophy is harmoniously inspired by the all-encompassing nature and grandeur of the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu. Mother Nature is complemented by the bold accents seen in the herringbone patterns and leather and brass details, which channel vintage outdoor sports gear. Exposed surfaces and a disruptive bold graphic approach runs throughout the visually intriguing spaces, featuring carefully curated art displays and bespoke furnishings.

The Lobby and Reception heavily features timber flooring, timber lined ceilings and split rock walls, bringing an earthy-edge and Queenstown’s reputation as an adventure playground indoors. This gives a more residential feeling for guests. The  in-room elements is where the attention to detail and framework of a designer hotel comes through – in the nic-nacs, wall graphics, cushions, artwork.
