Reviews of Crowne Plaza Christchurch, an IHG Hotel
A.
Stayed for 7 days in MIQ the New Zealand Government managed isolation and quarantine. Well managed and staff very friendly. Very strict protocols, probably a bit over cautious, but given some people are not easy to manage probably warranted.
t.
Really great place to spend isolation. We had a delicious menu to choose from, rooms were really good with a big comfy bed, staff were really friendly and cleanliness was outstanding. Plus we got a little newsletter every day with puzzles to keep us occupied.
C.
Really had an awesome family time during our MIQ☺️ delicious food and helpful staff! All the best!

The hotel is in good location and walking distance to highlights of Christchurch CBD. Many good restaurants and bars nearby. The hotel is clean and the rooms are modern. I just have some concerns staying in this hotel as a platinum elite member. I was not given a late checkout even if I asked for it. I also did not get a room upgrade.

I am currently in room 1611 and the views are beautiful on this floor. Daytime reception staff have been wonderful. Modern detailing and cool interior. 270 degree views. Please come back after this place being a MIQ hotel.

The Crowne Plaza in Christchurch is a great place to stay. We had two adjoining double rooms for our family of 7 which was great. The hotel is obviously brand new and has some really tasteful touches and technology. The hotel is also really handy to the Margaret Mahy Playground so the kids were pretty stoked with that.

We’re from Christchurch and we stayed here twice as a little get away. I’ve already booked another stay-that’s how amazing it is. The service at the front desk is exceptional. The rooms are beautiful and the bathrooms stunning. My favorite part is the hotel bar. Such a classy environment!

From the moment we stepped through the main hotel entrance we knew we were in for a great experience. Reception staff set the standard for customer focus that was to be seen over and over again from room requests to dining experiences. Would recommend this establishment particularly if you are looking for that special weekend away.

We stayed for a weekend break at the Crowne Plaza Christchurch. It was all we hoped for; great service, attention to detail, and the most friendly and attentive staff. The CBD, amenities and restaurants are an easy walk away. Highly recommended and actually very good value given the quality and convenience.

Although surrounded by a lot of building work this hotel (we were on the top floor) had lovely large rooms and large shower. The lobby is fresh and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the restaurant food and wine. Service was impeccable throughout.

We had a wonderful one night stay in the Junior King Suite. Beautiful views and lovely window seats. The staff were super helpful and I would so stay again. This was my first stay at this Crowne Plaza and I was so impressed with everything.

After traveling around NZ for 70 days, we stayed our last two nights at this hotel. Glad we did! The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The location was good for walking to attractions and restaurants. Would definitely return!

Arrived the day before the lockdown. Hotel was understandably quiet but staff were helpful and friendly. The only dining option available because of Covid19 was room service with an extended menu on offer. No additional charge was added for room service. Open air car park is right next door to the hotel with barrier security.

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel. Relatively new property with nice furnishings in the room. Reception and lobby area was nice. Wireless internet in the room was very slow. Hard wired connection was fine. Cable was provided in the …

B.
This honestly is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at and now the first place I'll book if and when I'm back in Christchurch!
You get the impression that it's an upmarket hotel before You even set foot in the door; very good looking building and decor.
The reception is equally stylish, open and clean with a bar on the ground floor and restaurant a level up.
The receptionists we spoke to were incredibly polite, funny and most importantly helpful.
The room itself was such a beautiful and comforting place to spend time even before we went to bed. The lighting is great with lots of controls for everything including the air conditioning and there's ample storage with a nice illuminated wardrobe (complete with robes!)
The bathroom is probably the highlight of the room; the shower has a glass wall looking into the room so if you're there with someone special you can have a bit of fun, but if you're there with your brother, like me, you can toggle a switch to close a blind and block off the view, essentially making the bathroom enclosed.
I'll definitely be returning with the girlfriend to make use of that amazing bedside view.. into the shower. Oh and for the amazing service and experience overall.
Can't recommend enough!
S.
Just before arriving made contact regarding parking and received an excellent response with full explanation of where to park and what to do, made arriving so easy and stress free. When registering, the front desk staff member was polite …

The hotel is modern and well equipped. The staff was excellent. The room was spacious and well designed, including the bathroom and shower. Lots of USB ports and we had a nice view of Christchurch. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel.
B.
A mistake on my end ment that I ended up using the hotel phone to make calls during quarantine. The bill came out at over 200 dollars. $35 dollars to call rangiora 18 minute drive away for a 10 min call.
The management gave me a %1.5 discont and offered no other consideration or compassion for this horrible situation. The day manager made it clear with a sullen tone that I should be grateful to be in the crowen plaza and I was stupid for not reading the info page on the TV.
Rates and fees are not clearly advertised and staff are not up to date with fees

Our three days at this hotel proved we made a good choice in terms of location, service and comfort.
As loyal IHG guests we were given our usual upgrade and we were very pleased …
