Holiday Inn Christchurch

Throughout the Holiday Inn Christchurch you will sense an air of peace and tranquillity, due in part to its location but more to the overall layout of the Hotel: The light airy Lobby, the courtyard garden setting and the warm, friendly professional team.

Christchurch City, New Zealand's southern gateway, is bordered to the west by the vast Canterbury Plains and the spectacular Southern Alps, and to the east by a seemingly never-ending beach. It is a city of charm, a city of style. Holiday Inn Christchurch is nestled alongside the River Avon on the very edge of the busy central business district, and just a gentle ten-minute stroll from the city centre.
