Hilton has announced the opening of Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton.

Formerly Chateau on the Park, the property is adjacent to Hagley Park, within walking distance to Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the western business district, and a five-minute drive into the city.

The hotel will be the second DoubleTree by Hilton to enter New Zealand and joins four Hilton Worldwide hotels in Auckland, Taupo and Queenstown.

It has been fully refurbished and offers 192 guest rooms, a Den Bar, Garden Court Brasserie, and seven meeting spaces as well as a business centre, heated outdoor swimming pool and a fitness room.
