Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn Rotorua

From the massive but welcoming entrance foyer with its huge stone fireplace to the lake views from the tower wing, this hotel spells class. Next to the Whakarewarewa reserve, it runs a complimentary shuttle service to town. The superb Pohutu Cultural Theatre inside the hotel, with its carvings and giant statue of the Māori deity Maui, is home to a colorful nightly concert and hāngi feast.
