This is an 1909-1913 government building in the heart of Christchurch. Its in a great location, walking distance to all restaurants and site seeing spots. Unfortunately the 2011 earthquake has taken its toll on Christchurch and the whole city was undergoing major renovations when we were there Jan 2020 and there are still many abandoned buildings. The Heritage Hotel has maintained its heritage. It has a great bar outside, we happened to be sitting out there enjoying drinks when a string band started playing at a neighboring table. There is also a barber shop on the main floor which all three guys got haircuts and beard cuts, its very old school with modern stylists. , We had a two story apt with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a kitchen. It worked for us, the only thing we didn't like was an air diffuser was in the room before we got in, making it smell a bit horrific to us all. But we quickly turned that off and opened a window. I would recommend staying here, its not the plush super hotel but an authentic window into the past.
