The location was excellent. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Christchurch. We love the Arts Centre, it’s iconically Christchurch. We were there for such a short time it’s hard to review it properly but will return in December.

Wonderful boutique hotel on the old University of Canterbury campus. There’s more than a bit of Oxbridge about the buildings, which have all the charm you could ask for. The receptionists were helpful and kind. The nearby dining (and wine-tasting) options were excellent. Best of all, the hotel is across the street for the amazing botanical garden and Harley Park. We’ll be back!

Wonderful, unique hotel. Historic building, but totally renovated and totally modern. Lots of amenities like coffee and cookies in the lobby at all times. Super friendly and helpful staff. The highlight of our stay in Christchurch. Next to the botanical gardens and an easy walk to the main tourist/shopping area.
