Accommodation.

 Christchurch has many wonderful hotels around the CBD. Please feel free to find your own hotel or book at one of the options we have listed below. Prices vary between these hotels but all are within walking distance of the CBD.
 
A major conference is being hosted in the central CBD near the square and many of the big brand hotels (Novatel, Ibis etc) are either fully booked or have very high prices for late November.
 
*Please note that there are no hotels in the immediate vicinity of the University and you will need to uber or taxi to the University (public transport is available but not ideal).
 
Preferred option - Closest to University of Canterbury – 5 minutes by car (on the UC side of Hagley Park)
Doubletree Hilton (Chateau on the Park) – Offer a very good Government/Corporate rate so please contact directly and ask for this rate or alternatively good rates can be found on Expedia and other booking platforms.

We are currently researching new suggestions for hotels as demand in the city is extremely high and our previous recommendations have all sold out.

Rooms are currently available at the:
 ibis Christchurch
Sudima Central Christchurch
Wyndham Garden Christchurch - Kilmore Street

Self-catering is available at:
Ramada Suites
