Top Greymouth Hotel Reviews

Theatre Royal Hotel Kumara

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed w nights in the miners cottage and it was absolutely superb for our needs. Had our kids visit and play cards one evening and the other night we just blobbed out. Nice and quiet, and well appointed. The cottage had everything we needed and the meal we had in the bar after 6 hours driving was damned good. The service was fab and the staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. Will happily stay there again."

Copthorne Hotel Greymouth

10/10 Excellent

"perfect for one night close to railway station"

What is a historic hotel like in Greymouth?

A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Greymouth usually retain original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?

They are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Do historic hotels in Greymouth have modern facilities?

Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. In Greymouth, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
