Fodor's Expert Review ibis Christchurch Hotel

Only a stone's throw from the new shopping and dining areas of Christchurch, this well-priced and cleverly designed hotel makes the most of every square inch, and many rooms interconnect if needed for family groups. It was built just before the earthquakes and was one of the first to reopen. Well insulated from noise, rooms overlook Hereford Street or up to the Port Hills. Desks at the window mean plenty of views and light for working. If you're into yoga, one of Christchurch's best studios is right next door.
