The George in Christchurch, New Zealand

Stayed at the The George in Christchurch, Zealand for 6 nights earlier this month. A really nice boutique hotel in the Central Business District, about a 20 minute walk from the main bus station, and easy walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. It sits across the street from Hagley Park and is near the botanic gardens. It's a World of Hyatt category 4 hotel.

Upon checking in, the paperwork they handed me said that all World of Hyatt members received one category upgrade (if available), complimentary breakfast for two, complimentary wifi, early check-in (noon) and late check-out (2:00 pm) if available. Although the breakfast was said to be continental, it was a normal breakfast buffet with hot and cold items, which was quite good, and you had the choice to alternatively order from the menu.

Also, it appears that everybody is given a teddy bear the day you check-in. I got one, and then was inadvertently offered a second one.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. I'm not sure I'll ever get back to Christchurch (hopefully so), but if so, I definitely would stay at the The George again.
