Beside Hagley Park and the Avon River, The George Christchurch occupies a low contemporary building close to the city centre and Botanic Gardens. Rooms use neutral tones, tailored furniture and large windows, with artwork and textiles adding measured colour rather than overt decoration. The hotel’s restaurants focus on New Zealand produce, while a collection of contemporary art runs through the public areas and accommodation. Its landscaped entrance, broad horizontal façade and position opposite parkland give the property a quieter outlook than many central Christchurch hotels, with paths and mature trees immediately beyond the grounds.
