The Residence at The George Christchurch

The George is the essence of supreme comfort and is renowned for offering a personalised stay and attentive staff. Located in the heart of Christchurch overlooking the picturesque Hagley Park and river Avon you will find peaceful Christchurch accommodation just steps from the cultural precinct and key attractions.  Nominated as the World’s Leading Luxury Hotel Villa 2016 in the 23rd annual World Travel Awards, this luxurious property is a fantastic option for exploring the city.

Built in the 1950’s, The Residence is a three-bedroom character villa that has been recently restored to the highest standards, offering the ultimate in exclusive luxury accommodation. Set adjacent to main building The Residence offers the best of both worlds – access to full hotel services, but the privacy and exclusiveness of a private villa. The Residence has the feel of a country lodge overlooking The Georges private hotel gardens.

The Residence is available in a number of configurations, with the three en-suite bedrooms being able to be rented individually or combined as either a one-bedroom suite, a two-bedroom suite with one shared living room, or exclusive use of the entire three bedroom villa. The latter option includes the exclusive use of the ground floor kitchen, dining room and library as well as access to the hotel gardens.

Even though the villa has a full kitchen, guests may prefer to enter the world of fine dining at two award-winning restaurants at The George – 50 Bistro and Pescatore. 

The George, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, tops the list of Christchurch Hotels. In 2013, 2012 and 2010 it was recognised as ‘New Zealand’s #1 City Hotel’ in Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards and was New Zealand’s Leading Boutique Hotel’ 2006 – 2010 & 2012 – 2015 in the World Travel Awards.
