Peppers on the Point Makes Condé Nast Traveler Hot List     16 May 05

Peppers on the Point, Lake Rotorua, has received global recognition through its inclusion in the latest USA issue of Conde Nast Traveler.

One of only two New Zealand properties included, the 2005 Global Guide Hot List is a rigorously selected annual roster in its ninth year that lists notable new hotels across 38 countries.

Surrounded by the sparkling waters of Lake Rotorua, Peppers on the Point offers guests a peaceful and luxurious base to enjoy the delights of the region.

The two-storied lodge is a converted 1930s mansion, which retains a lot of the charm and design including large entertaining rooms with open fireplaces, a timber-panelled dining room and magnificent timber staircase. Guests have the choice of seven exquisitely furnished suites with lounges and spa baths within the lodge or two lake cottage suites within the grounds that have open-air hot tubs on their private decks with panoramic lake views.

The Cond頎ast Traveler Global Hot List refers to Peppers on the Point as "a fairytale in its own right" and that the suites have a "tasteful air of an immensely wealthy friend's home."

David Smail, General Manager of Peppers on the Point comments, "This is fantastic recognition for us. Cond頎ast Traveler (USA) is the travel bible for the American market and this kind of inclusion on the Global Hot List confirms our positioning as a luxury retreat that offers a real point of difference for our guests. This is also recognition for the region and follows hot on the heels of our inclusion in the Gift Bags delivered to all Oscar winners and nominees at this year's 77th Academy Awards."
