An award-winning boutique hotel, The George offers an exceptional blend of luxury, elegance, and warm hospitality in the heart of Christchurch. Overlooking the picturesque Hagley Park and Avon River, this refined retreat is renowned for its intimate ambience, personalized service, and exquisite culinary experiences. I was here 15yrs ago and I’m so glad I came back here. It is still my all time favourite hotel in NZ. Room and bed super comfortable. Staffs were very welcoming and helpful. Parking very easy and well located. Next time I will stay at the George
