Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

Hotel that makes every moment matter

Check in to 4.5-star comfort with the lake at your doorstep at Novotel Rotorua Lakeside Hotel. Rejuvenate in the spa's natural geothermal mineral pools and experience a delicious dinner in our Atlas Restaurant. Then retire to your room - a calm haven with earthy colours, wood furniture and picture windows - and soak in the spectacular scenery at Novotel.

Conveniently located just 15-minutes from Rotorua Airport in the heart of Rotorua township, Novotel Rotorua Lakeside is the perfect base for adventure enthusiasts and families alike to see all that New Zealand's geothermal capital has to offer. Take a short stroll to the lakefront to ride the thrilling Kawarau Jet on Lake Rotorua. Hop on nearby public transport to visit the cultural and geothermal wonders at Te Puia. Or enjoy the adrenaline-pumping action of the luge at Rotorua Skyline.

Just steps from Eat Streat bars and restaurants also only a short walk from the awe-inspiring lakefront, the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside Hotel is in the heart of the cultural and geothermal marvel that is Rotorua.

We can't wait to welcome you to our vibrant hotel. We're confident you'll enjoy your stay, whether you're travelling for business or leisure.
