Frommer's Review

The Crowne Plaza is still seen by many as Christchurch's number-one luxury hotel. It's hard to miss its architectural dominance of Victoria Square, and what really sells the place is its central-city location and its unquestionably high level of service. All rooms are well maintained with elegant contemporary furniture; many units have excellent city views. The Club rooms occupy the two top floors and have extra touches and access to Club Lounge with free breakfast and cocktails. It's worth paying the extra to get the space and bigger bathrooms they offer. Although in my view not quite as refined or as intimate as The George, it's still a good choice.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; nearby golf course; gym; free bikes; concierge; tour desk; car rentals; comprehensive business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; on-call doctor/dentist
