Fodor's Expert Review Rydges Latimer Christchurch
30 Latimer Sq.
Set on leafy Latimer Square, this newly built low-rise hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the central city, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxed. Many of the rooms and family-size suites overlook the square, and there is a spacious penthouse taking up the entire top level. It's just a short walk to the Transitional "Cardboard" Cathedral, a must-visit symbol of the new Christchurch. Do dine in the splendor of Bloody Mary's restaurant—and don't forget to ask about the intriguing story of how it got its name.

- free parking on-site

CONS
