The George Christchurch  

Perched beside Hagley Park and the River Avon in the heart of Christchurch, this luxury 5-star boutique hotel sits steps from the Botanic Gardens and the city's cultural precinct. Walk or bike to nearby museums, cafes and Christ's College; the casino and central sights are minutes away. Peaceful yet central — ideal for exploring the city.

An intimate, boutique vibe with a one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio that delivers highly personalised service. The 53 air-conditioned rooms feature pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, minibars and refrigerators, 42-inch LED TVs and garden views. The property pairs elegant interiors and riverside gardens with a strong dedication to sustainability and is a popular choice for weddings and special events.

Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet and free valet parking set a smooth tone. Relax with a massage, hit the fitness centre or lose yourself in the on-site library. Concierge and a tour desk arrange local excursions — wake up to Hagley Park mornings and unwind in landscaped gardens.

A business centre, computer station and six meeting rooms with event facilities make this a reliable conference venue. Complimentary high-speed (wired) internet and on-site support keep meetings running smoothly.

Two award-winning restaurants, 50 Bistro and Pescatore, showcase seasonal New Zealand cuisine and local wines — 50 Bistro looks out over Hagley Park for a serene dining backdrop. A bar/lounge and 24-hour room service round out the gourmet options.
