Pescatore, the hotel's more formal sister restaurant, shifts the focus to seafood for a dressier evening. Walking Hagley Park itself, one of the largest urban parks in New Zealand, is free and immediate from the front door, and the rebuilt Christchurch CBD, still visibly finding its post-earthquake identity, is close enough to explore on foot over the following days.
