“This hotel places you squarely in Christchurch's heart, steps from Cathedral Square, with views stretching to the Southern Alps from certain rooms. I noticed reports of exceptional, personalized service, particularly for families, though some rooms seem to need refreshing. The dining struck me as a highlight, full-service with local New Zealand cuisine.”
