Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton
The room is clean. Walk 1.2 km to the nearly shopping centre or cafe. The hotel provides buffets breakfast only. The in-room service system didn’t work either. Love the welcome cookies. The Asian staff is particularly nice and very helpful.

Carnmore Hagley Park

The Towers on the Park
My only complaint, and it might be my incompetence was that the TV turned on at 5am every morning and I couldn’t figure out how to stop it from doing that. Otherwise staff were nice, hotel in a good location overlooking Hagley Park.
