Novotel Christchurch Airport

Arriving in Christchurch, New Zealand, and wanting accommodation just steps from the airport terminals? Novotel Christchurch Airport combines contemporary comfort, convenient access to international and domestic flights, quality dining and flexible conference facilities in one well-located hotel.

This four-and-a-half-star hotel is an appealing choice for international visitors beginning a South Island holiday, business travellers with early flights, and conference delegates seeking accommodation and meeting facilities close together. With views towards the Southern Alps and easy access to onward transport, it provides a practical starting point for exploring Christchurch and Canterbury.

Novotel Christchurch Airport was one of the exhibitors at MEETINGS 2026, New Zealand’s business events trade show held in Auckland on 17 and 18 June 2026.

Contemporary Accommodation Beside Christchurch Airport

The hotel offers 200 guest rooms featuring modern décor, comfortable furnishings and contemporary amenities. Its location outside the international and domestic terminals makes it particularly convenient for travellers arriving late, departing early or connecting to other destinations around New Zealand.

Rather than needing a lengthy transfer after a flight, guests can walk to the hotel from the airport terminal area. Christchurch city centre is also accessible by road, allowing visitors to combine an airport stay with sightseeing, shopping and dining.

Food Exchange: Dining with Southern Alps Views

Food Exchange is the hotel’s on-site restaurant, serving international cuisine in a setting with panoramic views towards the Southern Alps. It offers a convenient dining option for hotel guests, business travellers and event delegates who prefer to eat close to their accommodation.

The hotel’s restaurant and bar also provide useful spaces for informal meetings, pre-event gatherings and post-conference conversations.

Flexible Conference and Meeting Venues

Novotel Christchurch Airport is more than an airport hotel. Its conference facilities provide options for business meetings, presentations, corporate functions and larger events.

The venue offers a range of meeting rooms, including the rooftop Tekapo Room, which features views of the Southern Alps and can accommodate up to 260 guests according to the hotel’s event information. Dedicated boardrooms with natural light provide a more intimate setting for executive meetings and planning sessions.

Meeting spaces are pillar-free and include broadband and wireless internet access, built-in audio-visual systems and screens. These features help organisers create professional events while keeping accommodation, dining and meeting facilities together in one location.

The hotel’s conference team can assist with event arrangements, making it a useful option for organisations planning meetings around flight schedules or bringing delegates together from different cities.
