Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside is a mainstream Accor hotel at the lake end of Tutanekai Street, a short walk from Eat Streat. It has hot pools, a spa, a gym, a restaurant and a bar. Its Matariki Room hosted part of the first Rotorua Pride Festival in August 2023, according to Te Ao News, but that was one event and the hotel has no ongoing gay-specific offer. It rates 3.9 on Google from about 2,900 reviews. Guests like the lake view and the geothermal pools, and complain about dated rooms and carpets.
