Novotel Christchurch to open next week

Hind Management has announced the opening of the newest hotel in its portfolio, the $80 million, 200-room Novotel Christchurch Airport Hotel. The 4.5 star hotel, owned by Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) and run as a Novotel franchise, will officially open on 25 November under the management of Hind Management, which also owns and manages the award-winning Sudima Hotels chain in New Zealand.

Novotel Christchurch Airport is the product of careful design and engineering, with modern décor, ergonomic comfort and high-end facilities complemented by the convenience of close proximity to the Christchurch Airport terminal.

Sudesh Jhunjhnuwala, the CEO of Hind Management, says his team is proud of the finished product and looks forward to commencing management of the operational hotel.

“Our  partnership with CIAL and AccorHotels means Hind Management has been involved with this project since conception. Our more than 120 newly employed hotel team members are days away from welcoming their first guests to the hotel. We have 200 premium rooms over six storeys, two restaurants and bars, conference facilities and a gym, all with expansive, panoramic views across the runway and the Southern Alps. There is no place like it in Canterbury, and we are pleased to bring this project to fruition for the convenience and enjoyment of travellers.”
