The Chateau Regency — formerly known as The Chateau Commodore .....
The Chateau Commodore opened at 189 Deans Avenue, Riccarton in 1975 with its suit of armour in the entranceway epitomising the Gothic revival fantasy dreamed up by the late architect Peter Beaven in partnership with Sir Miles Warren. Some may recall the hotel was developed initially by the colourful Harry Holt whose financial troubles delayed the opening one year beyond the original 1974 target of the Commonwealth Games. The hotel was damaged in the February 22 earthquakes when guests spent the night in the Great Hall and Camelot room. After 18 months it reopened (in February 2014). About $13m has been spent on the 192-room 4-star hotel, mainly on the accommodation. |
