The Mayfair

The Mayfair is a contemporary boutique hotel at 155 Victoria Street in central Christchurch, on a prominent corner of one of the city's main hospitality streets. It is a short walk from Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, Riverside Market and Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, and about 15 minutes' drive from Christchurch International Airport. It suits corporate travellers, small executive groups and delegates attending events elsewhere in the central city.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel has 67 rooms, according to its business events listing with ChristchurchNZ. Its black-and-glass exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows give many rooms views towards Hagley Park, and some top-floor rooms have private balconies with views to the Southern Alps. Interiors use a restrained monochrome palette with warm, earthy accents. Facilities include 24-hour reception, 24-hour room service, a gym, laundry service, lift access, on-site parking and accessible facilities. Rather than a traditional concierge desk, the hotel relies on its front-of-house team to give local recommendations.

Meetings and events

The Mayfair has two meeting rooms with natural light and integrated audiovisual equipment:

• The Dorset Room (75 m²): up to 40 banquet or theatre, 35 cabaret, 24 classroom, 22 boardroom, 18 U-shape and 50 cocktail.
• Mayfair Boardroom (13 m²): up to 8 boardroom style.

Catering is supplied in-house.

Dining

Majestic at Mayfair is the hotel's café, bar and restaurant. It serves all-day brunch, high tea and cocktails.

Recognition

The hotel is listed by ChristchurchNZ as a 5-star boutique hotel and holds a Qualmark Silver Sustainable Tourism Business Award.

The Mayfair suits board meetings, small workshops, VIP and executive accommodation, and small incentive groups wanting a central Christchurch base close to the city's convention centre and dining precincts.
