Hotel Off The Square
Book This Hotel
Hotel Off The Square is a part of the downtown Cathedral Junction Development, a glass atrium-enclosed complex of shops, restaurants, and apartments. The roughly 60-year-old former theater had been abandoned for years before it was renovated and opened in 2003 as a boutique hotel. The hotel’s design and décor draw heavily from avant garde and Asian styles - as well as the colors and textures of the countryside surrounding Christchurch.
The non-smoking hotel may be one of the few with two active city tramway (trolley) tracks running through it. In addition to its unusual character, the hotel also offers Matiea Maison, a Basque restaurant. Complimentary high-speed Internet access is offered in public areas. The high-tech hotel also has a resident computer/Internet professional on its staff - and an in-house artist. Pop art, photography, and sculpture are found throughout the hotel.
As if to reinforce the hotel’s originality, none of the guestrooms is perfectly square, nor are they the same size. Colors, décor, and artwork are unique to each room.
