Thanks to a lively culture, beautiful landscape and high profile
appearances in films like the Lord of the Rings, New Zealand has
emerged as one of the leading tourist destinations for
international travelers. With so many people scouring the internet
to find cheap flights to Auckland or Christchurch,
it may be best to plan out the best hotels in the area as well.
Fortunately for those travelers heading to New Zealand in the
future, there is one hotel that is roundly considered the
best.
The George hotel in Christchurch was recently named the second best
city hotel in the Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific region
at the annual Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2010. The
international travel magazine chooses the winners of the annual
competition by user poll, meaning that the George was selected by
past guests who loved their experience at the hotel.
Located within walking distance of the Christchurch city centre,
the George is a unique luxury boutique hotel that really stands out
among the vibrant city. Boasting 53 elegant rooms, including eight
suites, guests can enjoy state-of-the-art amenities and unique
special features like mountain bikes, free internet access, an
off-site gym and all day dining at the luxurious Pescatore
restaurant.
Three Auckland hotels also made the list at ranks
six, seven and eight respectively.
