Millennium Hotel Rotorua debuts luxury offerings as part of two-year transformation

Millennium Hotel Rotorua has debuted its exclusive redesigned club lounge and rooms, marking the completion of its two-year, multimillion-dollar refurbishment.

All 228 rooms and suites, along with the club lounge, corridors and alcoves, have been fully remodelled in what has been the hotel’s largest upgrade in nearly 20 years. 

The anticipated final stage included a complete makeover of the club lounge, which has reopened for the first time since 2020. Club floor rooms and deluxe spa guests can access the exclusive Club Lounge space, enjoying continental breakfast, daily refreshments and hosted evening drinks with chef’s tastes seven days a week. 

Millennium Hotel Rotorua General Manager, Pipiana Whiston, says the expanded luxury offerings have further strengthened guest stays.

“We are thrilled to mark the completion of our refurbishment with these final premium features. The popularity of our club lounge since its reopening reinforces that travellers are seeking out the luxury comforts, personable service, and add‑ons that will elevate their stay. Every aspect of this project has been designed with our guest in mind and Rotorua at its heart, blending local identity with world-class hospitality.” 

Ms. Whiston says the updated rooms and public spaces complement the hotel’s other well-loved features. 

“Our in-house spa, Zazu lounge bar, and Nikau restaurant come together to deliver a cohesive, upscale offering that strengthens our ability to provide the warm, welcoming stays we are known for,” Whiston concluded. 

For corporate groups and conference delegates, the hotel’s refreshed spaces offer a modern, welcoming environment, with eight flexible spaces suitable for groups of up to 350 people. 

Millennium Hotel Rotorua is located within close walking distance to the Rotorua Lakefront, Government Gardens and Energy Events Centre. The hotel has free off-street parking including three electric vehicle charge stations. 

The hotel is a member of the Tourism Industry Aotearoa Sustainability Commitment and embraces the Tiaki Promise to care for New Zealand. Millennium Hotel Rotorua is part of Millennium & Copthorne’s network of 19 hotels across 12 New Zealand locations from the Bay of Islands to Dunedin.
