Choice Hotels Asia-Pac has added the Comfort Inn Riccarton as it expands its South Island footprint.

The new property boasts an impressive 28 rooms including spa studios and two and three bedroom apartments.

Each room is equipped with the latest modern conveniences, fully equipped kitchenettes, and Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machines. The property also has BBQ facilities and guest laundry services available.

The addition of this new property takes the total number of Choice Hotels properties in the Canterbury region to three (including Quality Hotel Elms and Econo Lodge Canterbury Court) and the total number nationally to 31.

Choice Hotels in New Zealand is represented by the Econo Lodge, Comfort, Quality and Clarion brands.

Trent Fraser, CEO of Choice Hotels Asia-Pac, said he was excited to add the Christchurch property to its existing New Zealand offering as it looks to cater for all levels of the Canterbury – and South Island – traveller.

“Christchurch is a vibrant city with a range of experiences on offer for every type of traveller and is of course the gateway to the rest of the South Island,” he said.

“We love that we can now welcome our Christchurch guests into another convenient, comfortable and affordable property that we know they will enjoy,” Fraser said.
