Located in the heart of Christchurch overlooking the picturesque Hagley Park and river Avon you will find a peaceful retreat just steps from Christchurch's cultural precinct and key attractions. Impeccable service in an intimate ambience is guaranteed at The George, the only Christchurch Hotel with a one-to-one staff to guest ratio.
Enter the luxurious world of fine dining in Christchurch’s most elegant hotel. The George offers two award-winning restaurants, 50 on Park Restaurant and Bar, and Pescatore.
The George tops the list of Christchurch Hotels and is the only Christchurch Hotel that is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. With its focus on luxury, The George was recognised as 'New Zealand's Leading Boutique Hotel' 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009 in the World Travel Awards, one of Oceania’s top 20 Hotels in the 2009 Conde Nast Readers’ Choice Awards and voted #2 in New Zealand by Travel + Leisure 'World's Best Hotels Survey' 2009 in the category of top 20 City Hotels in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
As part of the community, The George understands that its actions impact the larger environment. As such, we have made a commitment to Caring Luxury which involves initiatives to reduce our impact on the natural environment, help charitable organisations where possible, and support local artists and suppliers.
Some of our actions developed naturally. For example, The George has been involved in helping various charitable organisations for numerous years. Other actions are driven by a desire to protect what we hold dear. For example, our ongoing commitment to reducing our impact on the natural environment has triggered management and employees to develop many initiatives to ensure we do our part in helping New Zealand remain the clean and green country we are proud of.
Furthermore, as evident by our New Zealand Art collection The George has for many years been a keen supporter of local artists. What is perhaps less known is that we also strive to source local products and utilise the skills of local craftspeople for our furniture and refurbishments.
