Fodor's Expert Review Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square

52 Cathedral Sq., Christchurch, Canterbury, 8011, New Zealand

From the moment you walk in to the futuristic lobby you will receive a warm welcome from staff who know the city well and can help with directions and recommendations. The comfortable, smart rooms have views overlooking the Southern Alps, New Regent Street, or directly on to the still-damaged cathedral. The restaurant has clever nooks designed for sole diners, a nod to the many business travelers the hotel attracts.

PROS

  • right in the heart of the city
  • stunning views of the Southern Alps from executive rooms
  • comfortable contemporary bar open 'til late

CONS

  • bathroom sink is set outside the bathroom door in the living areas
  • quake-damaged Cathedral is right next door, and building work surrounds it
  • valet parking is expensive (better to use public lot nearby)
