You’ll find Chateau on the Park – a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel – just outside the centre of Christchurch on New Zealand’s South Island. It’s in a great spot, just across the street from Hagley Park, where you can explore Christchurch Botanical Gardens and the Canterbury Museum. You could easily spend hours wandering around the wide-open spaces and woodlands that are right on your doorstep. Or, to explore Christchurch, hop on the hotel’s complimentary shuttle bus to the city’s creative and funky urban centre, which was rebuilt after the 2011 earthquake.

If you want a handy base in Christchurch from which to explore the city and surrounding area, then Chateau on the Park is a perfect choice. Choose from one of the light and airy rooms, or opt for one with a balcony so you can admire the resort’s beautiful gardens. You’ll also find gorgeous suites, which offer a separate bedroom and lounge – perfect for those seeking more space. Whichever room you choose, you’ll have everything you need to feel at home while you’re on your travels.

When you fancy a bite to eat, you won’t have to go far. Overlooking the moat, Garden Court Brasserie offers all-day dining – and you can enjoy your meal al fresco in the award-winning gardens.  This is the perfect spot to relax, whether you’re sampling freshly-made treats at afternoon tea, or ordering a delicious meal from the seasonal menu. At the end of the day, head to The Den Bar for a tea, coffee or night cap. In the colder months, you can get cosy by the roaring fire and keep the winter chills at bay.
