The beautifully updated Hilton Lake Taupo is a short drive from the charming Taupo town center, and only 15 minutes from Taupo (TUO) Airport. The Terraces is our Heritage Wing, boasting spectacular lake and thermal valley views. The newer wing of Hilton Lake Taupo offers self-contained apartments and guest rooms with sweeping vistas of Lake Taupo or Onekeneke Thermal Valley.

Relax in a spacious 30 sq. m. guest room. Get to work at your desk, or by the outdoor thermal pool, with WiFi access throughout this Taupo hotel. Refresh in the elegant marble bathroom of a Deluxe Room, situated in the Heritage Wing. Suites and apartments offer charming North Island homes from home, great for families or those using Taupo as a base for a longer stay to tour Rotorua and the surrounding area.
