Dunedin, Nelson and Rotorua topped the list of award-winning Kiwi cities with two hotels in each destination receiving high marks from travelers. Queenstown and Wanaka dominated the list of category winners with seven hotels in the thirteen-strong round-up. In order to be eligible for a gold award, hotels must achieve a rating of 4.7 or higher, out of 5.
“When today’s mobile-savvy travelers are heading to the slopes, looking for an amazing spa hotel or just want some all-inclusive indulgence, then they should look no further than the 1,000 hotel winners in the Loved by Guests ‘best for’ categories,” said David Spasovic, Hotels.com marketing manager for Australia and New Zealand. “The fact that New Zealand hotels took out 13 of the 100 spots in the bespoke categories is a credit to the incredible quality and service on offer to travelers looking for accommodation nestled in the beauty of the New Zealand landscape.”
Overall, New Zealand took out 23rd place in the world for the top rated hotels.
