Accor Opens Novotel Christchurch Airport Hotel

Accor has opened the $80 million new-build Novotel Christchurch Airport hotel.

Spanning six floors, the Novotel Christchurch Airport features 200 guestrooms, including 10 suites and 10 accessible rooms.

Located 15 minutes from Christchurch’s city centre and next to the terminal of New Zealand’s second largest airport, the architectural design of the hotel is the work of Warren and Mahoney Architects, the same team behind the Novotel Auckland Airport hotel.

The hotel features a restaurant and lobby bar, fully equipped gymnasium, car parking, kids’ corner, and ten conference and function spaces.

Senior Vice President Operations for Accor New Zealand, Fiji and French Polynesia, Gillian Millar, said, “Christchurch has enjoyed its highest visitor expenditure on record, reaching a total of $3 billion, for the year ending June 2019, with visitors from Australia and Asia accounting for just over half of the region's international tourism expenditure. Increasing tourist numbers and such positive visitor expenditure figures highlight the need for a sophisticated accommodation option at Christchurch Airport, and we know that short-stay business travellers, leisure guests and Accor’s valued 4.5 million Pacific loyalty members will be impressed with the hotel’s features, catering to their transit needs.”

Novotel Christchurch Airport complements Accor’s two existing airport hotels in New Zealand - Novotel Auckland Airport and ibis Budget Auckland Airport.

Novotel Christchurch Airport is also the 9th Novotel branded hotel in New Zealand and joins a global network of over 520 Novotel hotel’s in 61 countries. Novotel Christchurch Airport is Accor’s 45th property in New Zealand.
