Ringed by magnificent snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps, The Hermitage is a world-renowned tourist destination and has been an icon of superior accommodation and dining since 1884.

A recent $20 m upgrade has seen major enhancements to The Hermitage, including a contemporary and sophisticated foyer, remodelled cafe and the addition of the Aoraki wing of 60 superb rooms with spectacular views of Mount Cook. Sauna facilities are also available for the use of in-house guests (not available during winter).

Food and Drink

The range of food and beverage facilities available in the village ensures that all tastes are catered for. Within the Hermitage, there are two restaurants, the Alpine Restaurant (Buffet), and the Panorama Restaurant (A la Carte), as well as a Coffee Shop and Bar. Within Glencoe Lodge, the Chamois Bar is open daily for bar type meals.

The Alpine Restaurant is open daily for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This spacious restaurant serves a stunning buffet selection and every seat enjoys spectacular views of the Southern Alps.

Accommodation

Every room in the new Aoraki wing offers a superb night's sleep and great lavishness. From each immense picture window comes the perfect opportunity to witness the privileged moment when the first rays of light touch the white of the peak and night turns into day.

The 60 new Aoraki Wing rooms and the 104 Hermitage Superior rooms offer scenic views of the surrounding mountains, with 143 offering spectacular views of Mount Cook. All rooms have bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, TVs, and phones.
