Hilton Lake Taupo

At A Glance

Nestled amongst the epic scenery of Taupo on New Zealand’s North Island, Hilton Lake Taupo was originally built in 1889 as The Terraces Hotel. 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.

Gareth Stewart's menu at Bistro Lago is a magnet to this Lake Taupo hotel for guests and locals alike. Savor the celebrity chef's creations, accompanied by thoughtfully sourced wines spanning the best of NZ and beyond. Hold stylish events at Hilton Lake Taupo. Host an unforgettable corporate gathering or grand celebration for up to 180 in the Cellar Ballroom. Maintain a fitness routine, indoors or out at Hilton Lake Taupo. Challenge friends and colleagues on the tennis courts and soothe tired muscles in our sauna and thermal spa pool.
