位於基督城藝術中心的The Observatory Hotel,是一座由19世紀坎特伯雷大學天文台與物理系建築改造而成的精品酒店。其前身為1877年建校的大學舊日址,哥特復興風格的歷史建築在2011年地震後經修復重生,如今與藝術畫廊、手工藝市集為鄰,成為城市文化復興的象徵。 房間體驗:歷史感與舒適度的權衡 此次入住的G1房型位於地下室,空間略顯侷促,採光依賴人工照明,雖保留了石砌牆面與拱形門窗的歷史痕跡,但潮濕感略重。床墊偏軟,對習慣硬床的旅客可能不夠友好。不過,房間內配備現代設施如空調、智能窗簾,威廉•莫里斯風格的紡織品與坎特伯雷本地手工傢俱,仍透露出設計巧思。 服務亮點:五星水準的細緻關懷 酒店服務是最大加分項:24小時前台響應迅速,工作人員對建築歷史如數家珍;若升級至高層客房(如Verona房型),還可透過天窗仰望星空,體驗更佳。

The hardware facilities are great. It is a very unique hotel. The interior is spotless and the service staff are very friendly. The location is also in the city center. It is very pleasant to get up early in the morning and walk around. It is worth experiencing.
