The Hotel category includes properties with at least one licensed bar and restaurant, on the premises or adjacent, with charge-back facilities.
All rooms have tea and coffee-making facilities and there is on-site management at all times. All provide breakfast whether in a restaurant or breakfast room, or via room service. Some hotels have conference and banqueting facilities.
A standard room usually has one room for both sleeping and living, with an ensuite bathroom. A suite will usually have a living room and at least one separate bedroom, and possibly a mini kitchen. Hotel apartments usually have both mini kitchens and laundry facilities.
As well as many independent properties from across the country, some of New Zealand's leading accommodation groups make Qualmark® grading a requirement for their members.
