Princes Gate Hotel

Boutique Luxury in Rotorua

The Princes Gate Hotel is old-world charm harking back to times gone by. Slower times. Easier times. Like time spent reading, because you love reading, beside a roaring fire on a cold, wet afternoon. It's warm and cosy. There's nothing else to do.

It makes sense then that Princes Gate has fireplaces. And that it's part and parcel of the whole, timeless atmosphere.

History

Locals, Brett & Vlasta Marvelly own this beautiful old building. Originating out of the gold-mining township of Waihi in the late 1800s, it was brought to Rotorua in pieces in 1917.

In 1986, Brett and Vlasta sold up everything, including the car, in order to purchase it.

Going on for 30 odd years later and the Princes Gate Hotel has become an award-winning Rotorua icon. The work the couple has put into this place has been phenomenal.

This is luxury accommodation in Rotorua

Located in the central city, it fronts the main entrance to the Edwardian Government Gardens. Added to this is Rotorua's Elizabethan styled museum which is housed inside the gardens. They sure knew how to mix it up back then, didn't they? Combined, the area's sense of old-world charm is magnified and the sense of times gone by lingers.

Current Offerings

The Princes Gate offers 50 accommodation options. Rooms, suites, adjoining suites, and apartments. No two are the same.

Lavishly appointed furnishings ooze decadent luxury rich in colour, texture and pattern. It's a stylish assault on the senses that makes one want to either run screaming or, revel in it, bathe in it.

Not only is it tailor made for quiet, romantic getaways but, families aren't left out either. It's suitable for anyone wanting a central location that is handy to restaurants, shopping, and the Lakefront and Government Gardens, as mentioned above.

Cabarets & Dinner Shows

Cabarets and Dinner Shows are a regular feature too. Many people return time and again for these fun events. What makes it even better are the packages that include a combination of dinner, entertainment and accommodation.

Just so you know, you never know who you will run into at this hotel. The who's who of Rotorua and New Zealand fine arts, show biz and business congregate at times. Party time?

Historical Places Trust Award, Rotorua Best Visitor Award, Rotorua Best Business Award and People's Choice Award. Kind of sums it up nicely.

The Monarch

It wouldn't be complete without telling you the rest of the story. This family owned business has grown up and spread out over the years.
