From Queenstown to Christchurch, I stayed in this old building from 1917, which was renovated by the University of Canterbury. The interior has obvious signs of renovation, and it is quirky and gorgeous, surrounded by art centers. The hotel is small and exquisite, and has a special style. The design and decoration of the room are very beautiful. It is only a 10-minute walk to the mall, which is very convenient.

In Christchurch, a self-driving transfer station in New Zealand, I found this old building from 1917. It is very unique and the interior decoration is very eye-catching. It is surrounded by the Art Center and opposite the Botanical Garden. However, the windows are not soundproof, and the sound of tourists talking and vehicle loading and unloading outside is very loud, especially in the morning.

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.

The hotel is a renovation of an old building. The exterior is very beautiful, but the room is too small. I will not stay here again next time. I will just take some photos outside.
