A brand new hotel opened in February 2010. Right on Cathedral square. A car would be more a hindrance than a plus for those intending to stay in the central parts of the city. The latest in the Novotel features, and excellent 4 star property.
Exterior: A new tower block hotel linked to an historic building.
Lobby: A medium sized modern lobby, a modernist style with lots of white light and silver grey tones.
Located in the heart of the city, the hotel is within walking distance of shops, cafés and restaurants, markets, tram tours, the beautiful Avon River and many of the city's other popular attractions and activities. Christchurch International Airport is situated some 30 km away.
