2016年夏天開業(yè)的赫伯特之家酒店無疑是新西蘭皇后鎮(zhèn)奢華酒店中特別的一家。這間僅有6間套房的精品酒店棲身于一幢歷史可追溯到1871年的民宅，入選新西蘭遺產保護組織受保護歷史建筑名冊。酒店位于一片山坡之上，絕佳視野俯瞰整片湖光山色，距離小鎮(zhèn)也只不過5分鐘的步行路程，可謂鬧中取靜。在這里，真切的歷史感和現(xiàn)代化的服務兼而有之，給人一種恍如隔世的經典之美和穿越之感，無疑是到皇后鎮(zhèn)旅行時的絕佳下榻之所。

The Hulbert house which opened in the summer of 2016 is undoubtedly a very special one among the luxury hotels in Queenstown， New Zealand. This six-suite boutique hotel is a beautifully restored Victorian villa dating back to 1871， included in category of Historic Place listing and protected by a convenant by Heritage New Zealand. The location is close enough to the town to be a 5 minute stroll but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. Steeped in authentic history， the Hulbert house will definitely bring guests a distinctive combination of historic elegance and contemporary service.

1876年，菲利普·博比奇·博爾特先生買下了這塊地，并在原址后面加蓋了以石材為地基的木屋作為外屋。博爾特套房即以他的名字命名。

以綠色和白色為主調的博爾特套房由皇家藍、緋紅兩色點綴，大床上方的帳幔扎成皇冠樣式的華蓋，一方古董寫字臺格外適合文思泉涌的寫作者，而凸窗邊的躺椅適合放松下來欣賞花園的景色。博爾特套房面積達44平米，是酒店套房面積中最大的。

費斯套房

Firth Suite

1886年，利普·博比奇·博爾特先生將土地轉手賣給了霍雷肖·納爾遜·費斯，他是皇后鎮(zhèn)的一位黃金收購商。1889年至1901年期間，費斯一家將原木屋改建成了別墅并以此為家，但此后不久費斯就因挪用公款而被投進監(jiān)獄，費斯套房以霍雷肖·納爾遜·費斯的名字命名來紀念這段過往。

費斯套房以紫色、皇家藍和淺綠色為主調，擁有著令人驚嘆的窗景，將湛藍的瓦卡蒂普湖和穿行在綠林間的天空纜車盡收眼底，絕對會使客人產生在窗前的古董寫字臺寫些什么的沖動。

In 1886 the land that Hulbert house sits on was sold to Horatio Nelson Firth - the receiver of gold in Queenstown. Following the construction of the timber villa and the remodeling of the stone service range at the rear between 1889 and 1901 the house was the Firth family home， before Horatio Firth was sent to prison for embezzlement. It is from here that the Firth Suite draws its name.

With colour tones of purple， royal blue and pale green， the Firth Suite offers stunning views to Lake Wakatipu and up to Skyline Gondola， whether you're writing a novel at the antique desk or reclining in the day bed.

阿徹菲爾德套房

Archerfield Suite

1942年至1945年間，赫伯特之家被達尼丁市的阿徹菲爾德女子學校租用，作為戰(zhàn)爭危險下女學生們的避難所。阿徹菲爾德套房正是為了紀念這一歷史事件。

以金色和皇家藍為主調的阿徹菲爾德套房最特色的設計元素是壁紙上白色的罌粟花，大床上同樣擁有用帳幔扎成皇冠樣式的華蓋。

Between 1942 and 1945 Hulbert House was leased by the Archerfield Girls' School of Dunedin as a refuge for girls due to the threat of war. The Archerfield Suite is named after this moment in history.

梅森和威爾士套房

Mason and Wales Suites

位于達尼丁市的梅森和威爾士幫助霍雷肖·納爾遜·費斯先生完成了家庭別墅的設計，梅森和威爾士套房正是分別以兩位設計師威廉·梅森和納撒尼爾·楊·阿姆斯特朗·威爾士的名字命名。值得一提的是，梅森和威爾士是全新西蘭最古老的建筑師事務所，于1863年由威廉·梅森先生創(chuàng)立，他還是達尼丁市的第一任市長。

這兩間套房曾是主樓的閣樓，因而享有極佳的瓦卡蒂普湖景，純粹的色彩搭配古典家具顯得精致而優(yōu)雅，房間需要經過內部一段樓梯到達，樓梯旁裝飾著述說皇后鎮(zhèn)發(fā)展進程的老照片。

Dunedin based architects Mason Wales were commissioned by Horatio Nelson Firth to design the family villa homestead. The Mason Wales Suites are named after William Mason and Nathaniel Young Armstrong Wales respectively. It is worth mentioning that Mason Wales is the oldest architectural firm in New Zealand， having been founded in 1863 by William Mason， who was the first Mayor of Dunedin.

These two identical Suites were originally an attic in the main Homestead， but now boast window seats and dormer windows overlooking Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu. The Mason and Wales Suites both sport a crisp white decor with elegant trim in royal blue and a sunny yellow in the ensuite bathrooms. Chic designer bedside furniture blends perfectly with antique valets and tables.the Mason and Wales Suites are accessed via the internal staircase featuring restored images from Queenstown Museum that tell the story of Queenstowns development.

棕櫚廳亦是酒店的餐廳，每天早上供應品類豐富的歐式早餐，尤以咖啡、煎蛋等熱食熱飲最受歡迎。在這樣一間小而精致的美味餐廳安靜地就餐，無疑與皇后鎮(zhèn)上人潮擁擠的餐廳形成鮮明的對比。棕櫚廳另一大特色是每晚的小食會，住客們可以聚在一起喝茶，品嘗美味的小點心。白天在皇后鎮(zhèn)上游玩一天之后，回到酒店和同住的人們坐在一起休息，談天說地，分享旅途見聞，必定成為旅途中讓人難忘的時光。
