BreakFree on Cashel is an Accor hotel at 165 Cashel Street in central Christchurch, in the city's central business district. It sits within easy walking distance of Cathedral Square, One NZ Stadium and the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, making it a convenient base for visitors attending events elsewhere in the city as well as for corporate travellers.
The hotel has 263 rooms across eight categories, from compact Double Interior and Double rooms (around 10 m²) through Standard Queen, King and Twin rooms up to Premium King rooms (25 m²) and City Urban Family rooms sleeping up to six. The property is 100% non-smoking and wheelchair accessible, with free fibre-optic Wi-Fi throughout.
BreakFree on Cashel offers four meeting rooms, the largest around 107 m², with a maximum banquet capacity of approximately 50 people. This makes it better suited to smaller meetings, training sessions and breakout space than large conferences — for bigger events, guests are within walking distance of Te Pae, Christchurch's purpose-built convention centre.
Café & Bar 165 serves New Zealand cuisine with daily happy hour and room service. The hotel also has a fitness centre on site.
With its central location near Te Pae and Cathedral Square, a large room inventory, and its own smaller meeting spaces, BreakFree on Cashel suits both accommodation-only conference delegates and smaller stand-alone corporate meetings in Christchurch venues.
