Lounge 505

Perched atop Christchurch City Hotel, Lounge 505 is a rooftop sanctuary with 270-degree panoramic views over Christchurch, the Port Hills and the Southern Alps. Above the hum of the streets, it sets a refined, unhurried tone where modern Asian sensibilities meet the elegance of French culinary tradition. A place to rise above the everyday and savour the city from a fresh perspective.

In the kitchen, harmony leads the way: delicate umami balanced with classic French technique, and local New Zealand produce lifted by the depth of Asian spice. The result is a contemporary, cross-cultural conversation on the plate, where subtlety and richness find their stride and the seasons guide the palate of flavours.

Framed by this spectacular backdrop, the sky-high ambience suits leisurely breakfasts and vibrant lunches as readily as celebratory gatherings, with exclusive spaces and a private terrace available for special occasions. Make the ascent, settle into the skyline, and let your daytime culinary experience unfold - a little high-rise hedonism, with taste to match!
