Located in a stunning location with the historic Arts Centre, this hotel offers a unique and luxurious experience. The staff were outstanding, going above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs. The rooms were beautifully refurbished, with a classy and personalized design. The hotel is also conveniently situated near the gardens and cafes, making it easy to explore the area.

Some noise from outside can be heard due to the thin windows, but this is a small inconvenience in a hotel of this caliber.

The hotel was housed in a beautiful building and had a great cafe/bar on site. It was conveniently located close to main restaurants, bars, and the park. The breakfast, while basic, was adequate and included added extras like coffee to take out during the day in the lounge.

What a STUNNING hotel! The best I have stayed in for a while. From the decor and building to the customer service - everything was perfect. It was a breathe of fresh air being welcome to the Observatory! Great location, super clean and new, great common area to work in as well. I got a basic room and it was very spacious. Lovely breakfast with gluten-free options. Handy location for walking to Riverside markets and other dining places close by. There is a tram stop nearby and the botanic gardens are just across the road. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillow choices. The large lounge area with reading material and tea and coffee facilities was a nice and cozy place to relax. It's a stunning space, transportive to another time and place. A great place to sit and read a book. Sophie on the front desk was absolutely delightful, the best hospitality service we have ever had. She really made our experience go from average to incredibly impressed.

Can recommend this hotel.

Our recent stay at this hotel was an impeccable experience. The hotel has a remarkable atmosphere and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The room was stunning and elegantly furnished, with high-end amenities that provided the ultimate luxurious experience. The location was ideal, situated near beautiful surroundings, which made for a peaceful and memorable stay.

We were disappointed that the breakfast area was small and lacked a variety of options. Despite this, the exceptional service more than made up for it.

I had an amazing stay at the Observatory Hotel! The beautiful boutique hotel had a wonderful room with stunning period decor and it was incredibly spacious. The location was perfect, allowing me to easily explore the nearby Riverside markets and dining places. Plus, the hotel is just a short walk to the shops and there's a tram stop nearby for convenient transportation. The staff were incredibly friendly and Helen made me feel right at home during breakfast, even offering gluten-free options. The hotel had a lovely lounge area with reading material and tea and coffee facilities, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. I particularly enjoyed the free coffee, tea, and fizzy water available all day long. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the bathroom was huge with a fabulous shower. Despite some minor drawbacks, like a strange smell in the lobby and a noisy room without double glazing, the overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend staying at the Observatory Hotel for a delightful and comfortable stay in Christchurch!
