Hotel Off The Square, located behind the Cathedral and above the Tram tracks in Christchurch, New Zealand is part of the Cathedral Junction project originated by John Britten, New Zealand’s famous motorcycle innovator.

Comprising 38 rooms in a new boutique hotel style referred to as HIP (Highly Individual Places), the hotel has been designed and developed to introduce a new hotel form for travellers in New Zealand. It provides elegance, simplicity and design to a heritage part of the city.

Aimed at premium tourist and business travellers, it attracts North American, European and Australian travellers who want a boutique luxury hotel. New Zealander’s find it also caters for those wanting a new style hotel experience. The variety of room styles suit the needs of business people, independent women travellers, those keen on art design or sensual chic. The impression is a Pacific theme of soft new-age modernism.

In the high-design age, Off The Square provides a stylish alternative to hotels reflecting sameness. The nature of the building set-up on the first two levels of the three buildings facing onto Worcester street provides for some lavish historical revivalism. Off The Square will provide a big name in design and fashion in the city and follows the distinctive style of HIP hotels.

It has been said that HIP hotels are a must for business people, busy people at leisure, style conscious armchair travellers, trendsetting designers and architects.

 

The Christchurch trams pass through the lower level of the hotel.

The design and finishing have been carried out by local designer Timothy Nicholls, who operates the hotel. It is a Kiwi inspired development.
