The 4-star smoke-free hotel is just a few steps from the business district of Hamilton and within easy reach of the St Peter's Cathedral. The ornate Italian Renaissance Garden is 2.8 km from the heritage Vr, and John C. Munro Hamilton International airport is 5 km away.

You can catch the bus at 7 Collingwood St bus stop, a stone's throw from the perfect Vr.

Rooms

There are 38 rooms comprising storage. They come with free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, as well as such comforts as an iron and ironing board, and an air conditioner.

Eat & Drink

The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind. Hungry Eyes Cafe with European cuisine is located within 5 minutes' walk of Vr Hamilton Hotel.

“I've seen better days for this property, and current reports suggest a significant need for refurbishment. While its location beside the Waikato River and proximity to Hamilton's city center present certain advantages, concerns around room upkeep and overall maintenance would give me pause. For now, I'd suggest exploring other accommodation options in the area.”
