The collection, curated by Millennium Hotels and Resorts, brings together a small number of hotels positioned around distinct local identity and guest experience.
Expanding international profile
Managing director Stuart Harrison says the move reflects a broader strategy to strengthen the group’s premium offering.
“The Mayfair embodies the individuality and sense of place that define the collection, while elevating Christchurch’s presence on the global hospitality stage,” Stuart says.
The Christchurch property becomes the fifth hotel in the collection, joining locations in London, Liverpool, Rome and Anchorage.
