Distinction Hotel and Conference Centre

The 2010 50th Anniversary Conference will be held at the Distinction Hotel and Conference Centre in New Zealand’s tourist mecca, Rotorua.

Distinction Rotorua is situated on Fenton Street, just seconds away from the Central Business District and close to the famous Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, the beautiful mature Redwood Forest and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute or Te Puia. If you are more inclined to relax with a game of golf, then directly across the road is Rotorua’s most prestigeous Golf Course (Arikkapakapa).

Excellent shopping, tourist activities and nightlife are all with a 5 minute drive of the hotel.
