Spectacular views of Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand’s tallest mountain, and the surrounding National Park / World Heritage Area make The Hermitage Hotel one of the world’s most stunning destinations.

A haven for adventurous travellers since 1884, The Hermitage now offers the complete holiday experience with a variety of accommodation, dining and leisure activities plus the new Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre.

Opened in December 2007, the centre is designed to educate and entertain. It features a spectacular state-of-the-art 3D movie, New Zealand’s first full dome digital Planetarium and a Museum which documents the pioneering heart of the region and features the impressive Hillary Gallery.

The cafe and bar area offers indoor and outdoor seating and floor to ceiling mountain views. The perfect location for wine tasting and cocktails before sunset.

The Hillary Gallery depicts Sir Edmund’s longstanding connection with the region and touches upon his achievements, expeditions and life’s work. It was at Aoraki Mount Cook that he climbed his first major mountain, achieved a number of impressive first ascents including the difficult south face of Mount Cook, and trained for his Everest and Antarctic expeditions
