CHRISTCHURCH, Today: Following a competitive pitch process, independent Auckland-based agency HeyYou has been appointed across PR, social, and creative for a new luxury boutique hotel, the Mayfair Christchurch, in collaboration with Maverick Digital.
After a $23 million investment and a four-year design-and-build process, The Mayfair will open in the central city in June.
The Mayfair (on the corner of Victoria St and Dorset St) is modern, minimalist in style and features rooms with panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling windows, taking in Hagley Park and the Southern Alps.
HeyYou partner/PR director Fleur Skinner said: The Mayfair is a perfectly timed addition to Christchurch with both a local and global appetite for new experience,
“There’s a lot going on in Christchurch right now, and The Mayfair is poised to be at the centre of it.
“Event industry folks will love the hotel’s boutique 65-guest conference/event space and the Majestic at Mayfair with a bespoke modern high-tea experience, and premium cocktail bar.”
“There’s a lot going on in Christchurch right now, and the Mayfair is poised to be at the centre of it.”
Skinner believes her Transtasman travel industry experience made for a strong agency fit.
“After years of working to promote Melbourne’s luxury hotels to New Zealanders, it’s wonderful to have a property like the Mayfair to entice them to visit us.”
“Likewise, the team behind the Mayfair brings a wealth of experience and energy to the new opening. General manager Rick Crannitch has returned home to take up the role, bringing his own international luxury hotel expertise.
Crannitch says the vision for Christchurch’s newest boutique offering is refreshing.
“The Mayfair is a fresh take on luxury, meaning that luxury no longer means formality. Instead, it’s relaxed, thoughtful, and welcoming at every touchpoint: a beautiful space, complemented by attentive service.”
“Everything about the way we do business is handpicked and thoughtfully considered, including having HeyYou and Maverick on the team. We can’t wait to get underway.”
