The Observatory Hotel was a truly memorable place to stay in Christchurch. We loved the stunning heritage architecture, the beautifully individual rooms and the way the hotel blends the history of the Arts Centre with contemporary boutique luxury. Staying in the skylight rooms made the experience feel especially unique, and the location was perfect for exploring the Botanic Gardens, nearby cafés and the city centre on foot.
There was very little we would change about our stay. It is an intimate boutique hotel rather than a large resort-style property, so the facilities are more limited, but for us the charm, character and location were exactly what made it special.

The location is fantastic. The building and its environs are superb, as is the interior decor.
I think the personal service didnt quite match the quality of the venue and price.
