Rydges Latimer Hotel

Offering views over lush Latimer Square, this modern, casual hotel is a short walk into the city centre. Stylish rooms offer refuge after a long flight or a day of exploration, or upgrade to one of the penthouse suites on the 5th floor for the full works – balconies with views to the Southern Alps, and your own living space and kitchen.
