The hotel as a destination
Novotel Christchurch Airport Hotel
The hotel is an extension of the airport arrival experience, located within the airport campus as close to the main terminal as viable.
Upon entry, the double-height foyer creates a lasting first impression, offering different zones for meeting, eating, drinking and socialising. Beautifully furnished lounge areas and an outdoor courtyard offer numerous places to unwind and relax all featuring bespoke finishes, with further amenities on the mezzanine.
The design team has created a sense of place by interweaving rawness with refinement and, as a consequence, it would be hard to imagine you were anywhere else in the world when you were experiencing the spaces of this hotel.
The bar, restaurant and conference facilities feature on the sixth floor, offering incredible, panoramic views across the runway and the Southern Alps. Coupled with the phenomenal food and beverage offering, this makes for a refined experience. The Food Exchange has an open kitchen; diners can sit, watch and engage with the chefs who specialise in dishes from around the world.
Take it from us, this is not your standard airport hotel. Not only is it one of Christchurch’s best hotels, but it’s one where incredible design takes centre stage.
The building distinguishes itself from the silver, grey and glass materials of the terminal buildings with the warm roughness of its terracotta cladding and the timber veneered soffits. Featured elements incorporate custom design that replicates our landscape with warm, earthy tones and natural materials, giving depth and enrichment that reflects our inherent welcoming culture.
This hotel is so good, it’s a destination in itself.
