Personifying sophistication and five-star service, Eichardt’s Private Hotel is an iconic venue for private dining and special events. Events held here deliver a sense of romance, story, and good old-fashioned hospitality—a legacy we carry from those early days when this building opened its doors as Queenstown’s very first hotel. This dedication to good service carries through today, and is what elevates dining experiences to unforgettable moments.
Private functions at Eichardt’s cater to seated or standing functions, intimate gatherings and specialty events. Choose from a number of sophisticated spaces within the property, each offering a different way to take in the lake and mountain vistas and central Queenstown location.
