Pinnacle of luxurious comfort.

Line divider

The George, embodies the pinnacle of luxurious comfort and is renowned for providing a personalised and attentive experience during your stay at this boutique hotel, a member of the distinguished Small Luxury Hotels of the World portfolio and part of the Considerate Collection.  Situated in the heart of Christchurch, overlooking the picturesque Hagley Park and Avon River, the hotel offers tranquil accommodation just steps away from the cultural precinct and major attractions.  Impeccable service in an intimate ambience is guaranteed at The George.  

The hotel is named after Sir George Seymour, one of the First Four Ships to arrive in Canterbury in 1850, carrying immigrants from the United Kingdom.  The pioneering spirit of our forefathers, marked by visionary entrepreneurship, played a crucial role in the growth of Christchurch into the beautiful city it is today—an esteemed destination in New Zealand. 

Formerly known as the Arlington Motor Lodge (1974), Avon Park Motor Hotel (1977), Park Hotel (1982), and, since 1987, The George, the hotel has a rich history. 

Managed by Brook Serene & Co. Ltd, The George Christchurch is owned by Toranomon Jitsugyo Kaikan Co. Limited (TJK), with Mr. Yoshi Kawamura as the owner.

This hotel may possibly be the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at out of the hundreds I’ve been in worldwide: – The entire team of staff were incredibly warm and helpful – Countless well thought-out details: hallway air humidifier/purifier, guest laundry, and we were even given a bear with a cute, rhyming poem! – Rooms were immaculate (loved the heated bathroom with amenities). – Breakfast: entrees and buffet were both delicious. We really appreciated how hard the breakfast staff worked to minimize wait times when there was a sudden influx of 10-15 guests all arriving at the same time as us.
