About Us

Line divider

Convenience is at your fingertips.

Regent of Rotorua is located near the dining precinct, merely one block from the lake, a brief five-minute stroll from the city centre, and just a ten-minute drive from numerous attractions and activities in Rotorua. 

Under the ownership of TJK (NZ) Ltd and management of Brook Serene Boutique Hotels, Regent of Rotorua embodies the ethos of Caring Luxury. Recognising our responsibility to both our local community and the wider environment, we are honoured to hold a prestigious 4* plus Gold rating from Qualmark. 

As a part of our dedication to our guests, suppliers, and team, we ensure our team receives one paid day off annually.  This day is theirs to contribute to causes close to their hearts, whether supporting charities like Breast Cancer or volunteering for environmental initiatives or local organisations like the SPCA.  Additionally, we engage our team in community events promoting health, well-being, and charitable efforts.

As signatories to the Sustainable Tourism Commitment, we strive to be an employer of choice, fostering a culture of care and responsibility. 

We actively collaborate with local charities, arts organisations, and educational initiatives, supporting local artists, craftsmen, and suppliers of produce and furniture.  Additionally, we sponsor events in Rotorua to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities within our region.

Our supply chains prioritise social and environmental sustainability, reflecting our commitment to responsible business practices. 

Ensuring the Guardianship (kaitiakitanga) of our land and natural environment is essential for the sustainable prosperity of our industry and community.  We take accountability for the entire life cycle of products and services, actively seeking ways to reduce, manage, and eliminate waste from our supply chain.

Additionally, we implement on-site programs to educate our guests on sustainable practices, empowering them to make a positive impact.

Dalman Architects

New Wing Expansion

Dalman Architects are delighted to be architects and interior designers for the new wing at the Regent of Rotorua.

The exterior of the new building complements the existing buildings and reinterprets their black and white aesthetic with elegant simplicity. Concrete panels on the exterior feature a vertical stripe pattern inspired by Regency era wallpaper. The corridor windows and private balconies feature custom designed perforated screens inspired by steam rising from a thermal lake. The screens provide privacy and create an interesting play of light to the interiors, which changes with the movement of the sun.

The interiors combine classical and modern elements to create an atmosphere of sophisticated luxury. Featuring opulent furniture, elegant artworks, plush fabrics and high end fixtures, the rooms have been meticulously detailed to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at this chic boutique hotel. The restaurant’s food, service and ambience combine for a fabulous dining experience, and the staff throughout the hotel are friendly and helpful. Therefore, I unreservedly recommend this hotel in the CBD, which is a short stroll to the shore of Lake Rotorua, as well as shops, cafes and restaurants in the area.
