Our Community

The Hermitage Hotel is fully committed to sustaining and enhancing the geographical character of Aoraki Mount Cook - its unique environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.

Himalayan Trust:

The Hermitage Hotel & the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre are extremely proud to support the Himalayan Trust by gifting a portion of the price of each ticket sold. With this donation and other cross cultural links, we aim to support not only the continuation of the Trust's work but also ongoing cultural bonds between our regions.

Aoraki Mount Cook Museum Trust:
The hotel has played a key role assisting the Aoraki Mount Cook Museum Trust in the establishment of a museum within The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre. Our staff and resources will continue to assist in the archiving and management of museum content well in to the future. We also gift hotel artifacts to the trust for archival purposes and display in the museum if appropriate.
