    We have guidelines in place to assess the appropriateness of sponsorship or charitable donation requests.  Brook Serene will only entertain requests that align with our objectives, which include:

    • A cause that demonstrates a significant and lasting impact on the local community.
    • The target audience for the prize aligns with the correct demographic.
    • The package will have a high perceived value associated with it*
    • We reserve the right to request a reserve set at 50% of face value.
    • The name or logo of Brook Serene (or the specific hotels) must appear on event banners, posters, approved printed material, displays, websites, direct marketing material, and social media platforms.
    • Preference will be given to organisations or causes that our team is passionate about, and community groups that support our locally-owned business.

    We receive numerous sponsorship and charitable requests and applications, and unfortunately, we can only support a minority of them. All requests must be submitted in writing.

    Requests for support for events within 7 days will not be responded to, except in certain exceptional circumstances. We review these regularly and will provide a written response within 21 days. Please note that we do not support raffles and cannot offer cash donations or sponsorships.

LEARN MORE

From the moment you walk through the front doorway of The George hotel, it feels like coming home. Familiar faces with smiles and enthusiastic welcomes and a feeling that, although you want to rush up to your beautiful room, the idea of staying in the bar longe area for a beverage and a snack is so inviting also. This is a little haven of peace and luxury only such a short distance from the city energy that Christchurch has in spades. I am torn – I want to tell everyone how amazing The George hotel is – but a part of me wants to keep it to myself! Either way, when I am fortunate enough to visit again, it will feel cozy and luxurious because that’s what they do so well.
