What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Nelson?
If you decide to spend your holiday at a 4-star hotel in Nelson, you'll usually find plenty of amenities to make sure you're comfortable, such as a pool, gym and restaurant. You can experience top-quality service and upmarket surroundings. Pick a 5-star hotel and you'll have access to a few more bells and whistles — think on-site spas, around-the-clock concierge and opulent turndown services. You'll most likely get additional amenities and exclusive services at a 5-star retreat, but both are fabulous options for luxury guests.
