The Chateau on the Park is an upscale hotel directly across from the great central park in downtown Christchurch. It did suffer some damage from the recent earthquakes but they are maintaining a high level of service. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our room, though not large, was well kept. The nice furnishings were not new but were in... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice. The first time was about ten years ago when the hotel was in its prime. The second time was in Jan 2012 soon after a couple of major earthquakes and amidst a couple hundred of mini tremors (none of which were felt). I found the hotel to be still standing with all but...

Having just finished 21 days on the road I was eager to check into my room. It was only 10:30 am but the gracious staff checked me right in, no questions or attitude. The hotel is still in repair from the earthquake but it seemed like business as usual. My 3rd floor room was fantastic. Comfortable bed, tea/coffee and cookies,... More

Spent one night here in Dec, the day a couple of dream 5.5 quakes rolled through. When we arrived, the staff were shaken, but still tbere and working. The building is quake safe, as proved that day and on the two previous quakes, and the hourly aftershocks through the night paled away as we slept well in our comfy bed.... More

In our 3 weeks of traveling around New Zealand and staying in 10 different lodgings, this was the only one that felt old, shabby, and way overpriced. The front desk staff was neither friendly nor helpful. The service in the restaurant was slow and inattentive. There really is no lobby for sitting, and we found the rooms dark. We ended... More

After an earthquake and a few post-tremors we were concerned about accomodation in Christchurch. The receptionist's advice having been asked what to do should another tremor occur was"it's hard to say, we never know whether it's best to go outside or remain in the room!" So that's clear then!  You have to feel for the people though, business is tough,... More

We stayed at the Chateau on the Park over the Christmas long weekend and we weren't disappointed. The hotel doesn't seem to have been affected by the earthquakes apart from some support pillars erected on each floor's foyer area. The rooms were a great size with a very comfortable bed, crisp linen and fluffy towels. I would have preferred more... More

Stayed at the Chateau on the Park Hotel for business over a period of 6 months. With each visit, customer service was impeccable. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL with rose gardens all around. Dining at the hotel was AMAZING. I recommend eating at the hotel for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Our team ate at almost every "open" restaurant in Christchurch with... More
