There are too many awards and accolades bestowed upon luxury Christchurch hotel The George to list, but its eight-year run as New Zealand's Leading Boutique Hotel at the World Travel Awards (2012-2019) is well worth a mention. Located next to Hagley Park and the Avon river, The George is a luxury boutique hotel renowned for offering a personalised stay and attentive staff. Its 53 comfortable rooms and suites across five levels are contemporary and elegant, with sumptuous finishings, tasteful decor and local art on the walls. The luxury Park Suites are the "jewel in The George's crown", with spacious, state-of-the-art contemporary interiors complete with modern entertainment systems. The hotel also offers the award-winning three-bedroom private villa The Residence overlooking the hotel gardens - popular with high-profile guests. Enjoy dinner at the hotel's restaurant 50 Bistro, or stroll to Christchurch's dining and cultural precinct, which is mere minutes away.
