The DNA: A sanctuary in Queenstown’s city centre, The Central Private Hotel blends a childlike curiosity with bold design and a fresh take on retro postmodernism; the hotel a first for the resort town built around an inlet in the south-west of New Zealand’s South Island. Guest rooms – of which there are three categories – are infused with eclectic touches from the old to new world, interior design studio, Undercurrent, blending bespoke wallpaper and headboards by local artist Deborah Moss with Naumi chain’s signature bedding, and employing a rich colour palette that riffs from earthy tones in the Habitat rooms, to bold and viridescent pops of colour in the Junior Suite. Smaller rooms offer a private courtyard, larger ones sit among the treetops and are fitted with private balconies offering views of the heart of the town.
