The Millennium Hotel Christchurch has been recognised as one of New Zealand’s exceptional hotels with a five-star rating from Qualmark, New Zealand tourism’s official quality mark.

It is the largest hotel in the South Island to gain five stars through the Qualmark rating system, and one of only three five-star rated hotels in Christchurch. The elegant hotel, recently refurbished in late 2006, is located right in the heart of the city in Cathedral Square, beside Christ Church Cathedral. Its award-winning Restaurant Piko Piko is renowned for contemporary New Zealand cuisine.

Scott Wallace, Millennium Hotels and Resorts’ South Island Director of Operations said Millennium Hotel Christchurch General Manager, Karen Wootton and her team work hard at the hotel’s winning formula.

“Attention to detail is key to the hotel’s success, with Qualmark highlighting the genuine passion for providing impeccable customer service displayed by the whole team,” he said. “The hotel’s new-look guest rooms and superb comfort were also noted.”

Karen Wootton is likewise understandably delighted by the recognition for the hotel and her staff.

“This rating is affirmation of our ongoing commitment to provide the most desirable solution for our guests’ accommodation needs with service, product and location.”

Recently Millennium Hotel Christchurch was voted one of New Zealand’s top three in Conde Nast Traveler magazine’s Gold List 2007. The excellent service, superb city location, and the ambience of the Millennium Lounge, with its live jazz entertainment were cited as key reasons for choosing the hotel.

Millennium Hotel Christchurch has 179 guest rooms, including 17 spacious luxury suites overlooking Cathedral Square and Christ Church Cathedral.

All rooms and suites in the hotel have full facilities including mini-bar and refrigerator, television, movies, voicemail, broadband, working desk, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities and full individually controlled in room air conditioning.


Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand is a member of the Millennium and Copthorne Group with 34 hotels in New Zealand and more than 100 hotels in 15 countries worldwide.

Qualmark is a joint venture of Tourism New Zealand and New Zealand Automobile Association and is backed as New Zealand’s official mark of quality by the New Zealand Tourism Industry Association and other leading industry organisations.
