This is an 1800s University converted to a hotel so has a history to it. Settings are very artistic. Room was nice and spacious. Beautiful art area outside.

Wonderful refurbished historical property. Nice unexpected extra touch of a chocolate Easter egg to celebrate the holiday. Only “complaint” would be the closet and storage space of the rooms, but to be fair understandable given the historic building limitations. Check out (10:00 am) could also be a bit more generous. And $30+ per day for parking seemed steep- but I understand parking in Christchurch is expensive. Location is great!

Absolutely amazing. The most beautiful hotel. The staff were a 10+. We would definitely stay there again. Wonderful central location.
We weren’t able to secure a suite, although we booked several months in advance. The only criticism would be the lack of storage space. A tiny closet/wardrobe and little to no drawer space. But we made it work. We peeked in a suite and the one we saw had a bigger closet/wardrobe. So hopefully next time we can get one of those. But that aside we couldn’t have found a better place to stay.

The building is gorgeous from the outside and the entry is very classic and historic. The room itself is rather small.

Really enjoyed the hotel and surrounding areas. A bit of constructive feedback: Check in process was a bit clumsy and the breakfast area was not reflective of a top hotel.

Beautiful building close to the centre of Christchurch. Everything in walking distance. Nicely appointed room, only downside for us was the room and bathroom were set up for people with disabilities so everything was low level.

We had to book a last-minute reservation at a hotel in Christchurch due to airline issues and chose The Observatory. We ended up being so glad we had the airline mishap, because of this lovely hotel. The staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond themselves to be helpful. The atmosphere was magical, like being in a castle. Our room was beautiful, and the shower was amazing. It was outstanding to see all of the original art on the walls as well as experience the extraordinary exhibit upstairs. Loved being in the middle of great shopping and right next to the botanical gardens. This is a 5 star local.
