Rydges Latimer Christchurch

Hotel

Great food, good service.

Very Nice Hotel and Restaurant. We enjoyed our Wedding Anniversary celebration with free Champagne.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff.
Close to town.
Everything you could want.

Great time amazing food great service first visit to the whisky room.

Great venue for meeting s. Finger food could be a lot more imaginative and more variety.

Nice hotel in walking distance to downtown. There is a restaurant there as well. Clean well appointed rooms. The front staff was also nice enough to answer all my questions about the progress of the renovations and restoration and repair of the city after the earthquake.

The room was simple, but elegant and perfect for a stay. Service was lovely at check-in and check-out. We had the full breakfast, which I ate far too much of! The selection was brilliant, the poached eggs perfect and the juices were a nice touch in the reusable bottles (yay for recycling ♻️) All in all, a perfect choice for our Wedding night stay.

Nice place. Decent room with huge bed. Crucially it had quiet and functional air con, which was good as was freezing outside. Nice breakfast and decent well used bar.

I attended a one day workshop at Rushes. The room was set up well, with tea coffee and water provided. The staff were very efficient and accommodating. A light lunch was provided of wraps, bread, fruit and cakes.

Stayed in Christchurch with my wife before our flight out of NZ back to AUS. We found the newly built hotel and restaurant to be our best experience in Christchurch. Room was clean and modern and the dining in the restaurant was excellent (bookings are essential! ). Would highly recommend to anybody looking to stay in a Hotel in Christchurch.

A beautifully presented hotel very close to the city. Attended a three day conference and I can not fault this hotel in any way. The staff were attentive and very friendly. I will definitely recommend this hotel. I should have rated then 5 stars instead of 4

Loved staying here for a week. Every detail was incredible. The breakfast was hot, fresh and delicious every day and Bloody Mary's was a great spot to have a few drinks. Will stay again.

The staff are friendly and professional. Accommodation is great as is the services. It would be good if they could fix their curtains so that when you close them there is no gap and manually closing them is a hassle. All round though it is a very good hotel.

I went there for a seminar and a Christmas event. The meeting room was big room we had almost 150peoples and it wasn't too crowded. Good video projector and sound across the room. They served lunch which was well run and good quantity and the staff was friendly.

Great service. Very steady. Not luxury. Just a really good place for business stop over. Restaurant good. Great location.

Really nice rooms, pretty much in the middle of the city. Free parking and bar and restaurant were really good, though the bar staff weren't the most onto it.

Great location. Friendly staff. Comfy bed and room quiet and dark… so much so I slept in! Very clean and spacious!

Nice hotel. Did not eat at restaurant, but had room service which was fine, chips had salt already on them and a bit salty for my liking. Bar ok although the first drink was hard to get served.

Quite rigid on check in and check out times. Although I requested use of sauna three times, it did not get switched on and I could not get it to work. Staff very efficient in other ways. Hotel very clean and tidy.

Nice modern looking room with a good mini bar selection. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, I had a great night sleep. Water pressure in the shower is really good. The breakfast buffet selection is fantastic, the eggs were perfectly poached and bacon crispy. The layout makes it easy to get what you want to eat without waiting too long when it's busy and the juice bottles are a unique touch. The coffee from the barista was really nice and the staff are very friendly.

Good location in the city. Quiet and nice confortable rooms. Wifi works well with good speed. They have a nice restaurant and bar attached to the hotel. But no convenience store within walking distance.

I've only attended meetings, conferences and functions here but the location is great and the food excellent. Really nice to be able to use the restaurant for buffet lunches at conferences as it's much more civilized to sit down for a proper meal rather than standing and juggling a plate etc.

We enjoyed our stay at the Rydges Latimer. Room was spacious, modern and clean (as was the bathroom). Onsite restaurant was great and you are so close to CHC city. Just 5 minutes walk.

Room was awesome, big and spacious, comfortable, clean. Couldn't ask for anything more. Staff were friendly. Restaurant was good too, awesome steak. Plenty of parking. About a block away from the cbd, so easy access to everything.

Worth the booking if you're after a warm, cozy place. Excellent amenities, great customer service. The breakfast buffet can spoil your tummy to overflowing.

Friendly and helpful staff. High standard of cleanliness. Gym with all the basic equipment (treadmill, rowing mach etc. ) The bar and restaurant attached (Bloody Mary's) is excellent.

Always great service! Staff are friendly & professional. The rooms are delightful beautiful & immaculate. I recommend Rydges to everyone. Who loves a great stay.

This hotel was amazing. Relatively new and spotless. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was really nice and we'll stocked. Had the breakfast buffet and had great selection of food. Close to many amenities and large parking lot. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Good spacious room. Amazing buffet breakfast. Friendly staff. Good conference facilities.

Shared feedback on one matter, with staff and was very impressed with their attitude. I am otherwise inclined to give them 5 Stars! Thanks Amoire Will be coming back to Bloody Mary's!

Made to feel at home. Stayed here before and service is still fantastic. Awesome breakfast. Bloods Mary's food is great.

Very nice hotel. It's clean, and the staff is friendly. The gym has a little more to offer than some of the hotels that I've stayed at in New Zealand. It's close to all sorts of restaurants, bars, and shops. It's also within walking distance to the botanic gardens. Only two very small complaints. 1) The internet is very slow. It's also free though, so I can't complain too much. 2) There isn't a ton of parking. This wasn't a huge deal for us. We got lucky and got the last available spot, but I haven't seen very many open spots the rest of the time that we've been here. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Stayed for one night due back again in a few days time. Excellent hotel. Bloody Mary's for Dinner. Chateaubriand sharing meal. Absolutely out of this world. Breakfast also excellent. Just down the road from Christchurch Cardboard Cathederal.

Stay there last week. Happy with services and comfort of the hotel. Staff are very friendly and supportive. The room is clean and comfortable. Hotel is located in the city centre near to the ruined cathedral and the cardboard cathedral. The security of the hotel is great where the guest rooms on each floor is only accessible by using the room key card. The Free Wi-Fi is super fast compared to most other hotels in New Zealand.

Lovely hotel for the chill, hip and the cool travelers among us. Extremely friendly staff, huge rooms, very clean, excellent food and perfectly situated if you do not mind walking through beautiful Christchurch ;)

I stay at this property for a single night several times a year. As befits a near-new, purpose-designed building, a lot of things are better than average. There are plenty of power points; the Wi-Fi is of good quality; bathroom / shower excellent; great-quality king beds. A refurb has begun, with improvements to decor to soften the somewhat 'industrial' initial fit-out. This is a very welcome addition, and moves the rooms up to firmly upscale. It is good to see the same faces in the hotel's crew from visit to visit. For as long as I frequently visit Christchurch, Rydges Latimer will be my stay of choice.

Love this place. Added bonus is the lamb shoulder at Bloody Mary's. Great staff and wonderful rooms. Thanks team!

Once again, Rydges has delivered a fantastic experience. The check in was painless, in fact, I was able to do this on line. The room was immaculate and the Bloody Mary's restaurant was flawless in its' delivery of a beautiful butchers board with 3 excellent cuts of meat.

Have been coming to Rydges on business for the better part of a year. Hotel is always very efficient and Justine (marketing manager? ) seems to go out if her way to ensure guests feel special. Often with some treat left in your room. The rooms and food are good but the extra attention are what will keep me coming back! David.

This was my third stay. I find your staff great, especially the bar and restaurant staff. The rooms are OK, a little sparse and clinical. The restaurant menu is not as good as on previous visits, the prices to me are very expensive and not representative of range and quality offered. Has there been a change in restaurant management?

Had a very good stay here. Location is excellent. Parking is adequate but crowded during peak hours. Restaurant is excellent!

Was lovely to come back to the room after a very long day, and my bags had been taken up and the heat pump turned on. I have never stayed in a room so clean and cosy.

With 2 people / 2 suitcases and only one suitcase rack, one person lived off the floor. No one at the front desk seemed interested in providing an additional rack. With only 1 chair and no table (yes, there was a magazine "table"), there was no where to spread out maps, documents etc. The TV was very poor quality — looked like the""bottom of the line" LG model from the Warehouse. Resolution so poor it was difficult to read the screen. Also, I don't believe you can be a 4.5 star hotel and only have TVNZ and SkyNews Australia as your news channels. Both are inadequate. Where was the BBC or CNN? It is also a poor hygiene standard to have food dishes stacked at almost floor level like you have in your breakfast buffet area. Various articles of clothing were brushing against these dishes as people walked by. Surely not an acceptable standard. Overall I though the hotel was more like a 3 star establishment. Would not choose to stay here again.

Excellent staff high quality furniture comfy and clean good location.

Very impressed with the Friendliness of the staff, the food was excellent, and the rooms immaculate.

My favourite hotel in Christchurch. Sitting on the edge of a nice park, and only a few minutes stroll to the centre of town it's an ideal location. The hotel was rebuilt from the ground up after the Canterbury earthquakes, so everything in modern and new. The hotel's restaurant, Bloody Mary's, is considered one of the best places to eat in the city. They do a damn good steak!

Good quality hotel in great location. Rooms are very comfortable and modern. Bar/Restaurant area pleasant however extremely noisy with bar patrons, particularly between 6pm and 8pm. Not over conducive to enjoying a relaxing evening meal. Reception area a real dogs breakfast, particularly around 9.30am — Noon with check-out and arrivals congregating, making negotiating your way through even to get to the entry/exit difficult at best. Regardless, would recommend the hotel as being excellent amenity and value having regard to the amount of rehabilitation still to be achieved in Christchurch.

Comfy bed but very spartan room with the minimum furniture for two.

Great beds Spacious rooms Friendly accommodating staff Easy parking Great location.

Good location and fast Wi-Fi.

Good stay. Good standard.

Winter wonder flop. All wrong cold food taken away early. Rushed.

I started stay at the old latimer the new latimer Is fresh and clean hotel with awesome staff and management.

A great hotel, clean, modern and fantastic food, helpful staff. A good location as well. Conference facilities look great.

Fantastic stay, staff going out of their way to make it amazing for us, and also the way they helped us get the best deal with staying with them, will do it again! :).

Not a small thing. To have your 'left-behind' iPad safely and speedily returned Thanks Rydges Latimer TC.
