“Prince's Gate Hotel in Rotorua impresses with its blend of historical charm and convenient access to the city center; the architectural elegance, dating back to 1897, immediately sets it apart. Its central location means easy access to both Lake Rotorua and the Government Gardens, while returning to the hotel means a relaxed experience at Duke's Bar for high tea. From what I've gathered, it's a solid choice for those wanting a taste of luxury and local flavor.”
