We were passing by and went in for a one off coffee and breakfast. Well we're we in for a surprise, absolutely delicious. There is continental , a la carte or one with the lot. My partner tried the grouper and I had traditional, both were wonderful. Coffee stunning, try their short black. Well done staff at the George.

Even weeks before we arrived this hotel excelled itself by organising a car hire for us, no big deal you may think but they went the extra mile for us then and this level of caring, high quality service continued once we arrived. With us requiring a separate bed for our son the hotel kindly upgraded us to a superb... More

The George is one of those rare places where it feels like you belong the moment you walk in the door, the concierge is friendly and attentive. The guests are treated like friends of the family and you quickly feel like it is your home away from home. I have traveled a lot for business and you often feel hotels... More

This hotel is located across from Hadley Park and the Avon River. It has beautiful views with floor to ceiling windows, sitting areas and nice large bathrooms. It is within walking distance of the downtown area that is being rebuilt and renewed after the devastating earthquake in 2011.

Location: great location, it’s right next to the Hagley Park so we had an extremely nice stroll in late afternoon. It’s 15 minutes walk to center but since there isn’t much to see in the center you might as well just enjoy being close to the park. Room: it’s a bit small but very clean and tidy with good décor....

Visited the George after a 15 day self-drive tour of New Zealand and were immediately impressed with the professionalism of the staff and ambience of the hotel. Room was excellent, as was the food sampled in the restaurant.....a bit pricey but well worth the cost. Really nice touches throughout, that helped to set this hotel apart from others visited. An...

The George is in a class of it's own in Christchurch With so many hotels being destroyed by the earthquake two years ago, the options are limited at the top end of the market. The staff are extremely professional, and attentive, certainly as good as the best I've come across anywhere in the world. Having said that, they are not... More

After traveling around the South Island for three weeks in a camper we needed a night to ourselves to relax before flying home. It almost felt like arriving home as soon as we entered our room. The whole place has a relaxed vibe with friendly staff and the bistro takes the worry about where to eat. It worked well for... More

Pros: - Excellent location - right across from a beautiful park. - Very warm and helpful staff. - Rooms are modern and well maintained. - The nightly turn-down service was one of the better ones we've experienced. - The restaurant and bar are both very good.
