If you like to make sure you’re staying at the very best New Zealand hotels during your NZ holiday, why not choose an award-winning property – a Choice Hotels Australasia award-winning property that is!

This year, the New Zealand hotels Comfort Inn Fairmont in Hastings and the Clarion Collection – Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort in Rotorua both stole the show at last night’s Choice Hotels Australasia Awards Show by winning gold awards. The gold awards recognise excellence in business areas such as marketing, customer relations, training, development and amenities. “The Comfort Inn Fairmont and Clarion Collection - Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort are properties that showcase the best Choice has to offer the discerning traveller,” says Choice Hotels GM
Aileen Cobern.

When it came to crowning the Champions of Choice, which are individuals recognised for their exceptional service, New Zealand once again ranked amongst the winners. Leanne and Craig Duncan of Comfort Inn Explorer in Te Anau, Ann Cowan of Quality Inn Hurley’s in Queenstown, Darrin Muggeridge of Quality Hotel Plymouth International in New Plymouth and Bryan Hughes of the Clarion Collection - Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort were all named Champions of Choice.
