Great Hotel Right in the heart of Christchurch! The rooms are very modern and have everything you need. In addition to that, the rooms also have blinds, which really helps you to get a good night’s sleep. If you are an IHG member (free reward programme), you are eligible for a complimentary 2 p.m. late check-out, which was great as our flight was at 8 p.m., so we could stay in the hotel a bit longer. I would highly recommend this hotel!
