We hold 351 venues in Hamilton — 310 places to eat and 41 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Waikato, and 20% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 4th out of 1,482 places.

Of the places to eat, 26% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Hamilton eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 80 cafés, 108 restaurants, 94 takeaways, 16 bars and 12 pubs.

210 of the 310 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (37), sushi (23) and indian (19). Relative to the rest of the country Hamilton is unusually strong on french, ice cream and coffee shop — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 107 publish opening hours (30%), 10 are recorded as step-free, 9 have outdoor seating and 9 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Hamilton runs to 41 listings — 8 hotels, 25 motels, 3 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels and 3 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 61% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Rotorua (263) and Dunedin (243) — average 27% accommodation. Hamilton runs at 12%, noticeably less, so it feeds locals more than it beds travellers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 13 of the 351 venues in Hamilton carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
