Accor, the largest operator of hotels in airport precincts across the Pacific region, has opened the Novotel Christchurch Airport hotel.
Spanning six floors, the 4.5 star Novotel Christchurch Airport features 200 premium guestrooms, including 10 suites and 10 accessible rooms, each designed with ergonomic comfort in-mind and high-end finishes, including marble, copper tiling and extensive American oak panelling.
Located next to the terminal of New Zealand’s second-largest airport, the cutting-edge architectural design of the hotel is the work of Warren and Mahoney Architects, the same team behind the award-winning Novotel Auckland Airport hotel.
The new airport hotel is conveniently located 15 minutes from Christchurch’s city centre and features a restaurant and lobby bar, fully equipped gymnasium, car parking, wifi and 10 conference and function spaces.
The conference and meeting facilities available at the hotel range from the beautiful rooftop Tekapo room with views of the Southern Alps accommodating up to 260 guests, to dedicated boardrooms with natural light. All meeting venues are pillar-less and include broadband, wireless internet access, and the latest in-built audiovisual systems.
The top floor is the hero feature, with floor to ceiling windows, offering panoramic views across the runway and over the Southern Alps. A modern restaurant and social hub, Food Exchange is the perfect place to relax and soak in the views with a glass of famous South Island wine in-hand.
Novotel Christchurch Airport complements Accor’s two existing airport hotels in New Zealand – Novotel Auckland Airport and ibis Budget Auckland Airport. Novotel Christchurch Airport will be the 9th Novotel branded hotel in New Zealand and joins a global network of over 520 Novotel hotels in 61 countries. Novotel Christchurch Airport is Accor’s 45th property in New Zealand.
