A luxury boutique Queenstown hotel is shortlisted for one of the world's top interior design awards.
Hulbert House opened in May last year after a restoration project bankrolled by billionaire Japanese owner Soichiro Fukutake.
Kiwi interior designer Neil McLachlan was given the task of blending heritage and modern sumptuousness.
He's obviously excelled - the property is a finalist in The International Hotel & Property Awards.
