The George

A member of the prestigious ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’, the multi award-winning boutique George Hotel embodies the elegant and distinctive heritage for which Christchurch is renowned.

With views over Hagley Park and the River Avon – and characterised by its friendly personal service, this intimate city retreat boasts 53 guest rooms and suites, each designed with a stylish eye for detail. The fresh and contemporary Premium Executive Rooms have king-size beds (or two doubles if preferred) with park or garden views, whilst the Junior Suites offer the same stylish interiors with added space. The jewel in the George’s crown, the newly refurbished Park Suites benefit from a separate living area and state-of-the-art contemporary interiors.

Enjoying a quiet garden setting, the ‘Residence’ houses two suites and a studio apartment, a private dining room, a lounge and a fully equipped kitchen.

The George is home to two fabulous restaurants which rate amongst the best in New Zealand. ‘50 on Park Restaurant & Bar’ (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner) showcases the Canterbury region’s fresh local produce in a simple yet contemporary way – whilst for the ultimate dining experience, the uber-cool signature restaurant ‘Pescatore’ has won international acclaim for its fine Pacific Rim cuisine and seafood (advance bookings are recommended).

Modern New Zealand artwork in the lobby and public areas creates a feeling of style and elegance – and tennis courts and mountain bikes are also available for guests’ use.
