Luxury apartment on New Regent St: Elysian Du Regent
For lovers of luxury, high-end accommodation in the soul of the city.
The quintessentially quirky and vibrant New Regent St is now home to the city’s newest and most well-appointed prestigious address. The good news is that it’s yours to rent.
Thanks to the major renovation efforts of Christchurch’s Gill family, 1 New Regent St has transformed into a stylish boutique apartment that rivals anything in Europe.
The Gill family has owned the building since 1998, during which time it served a variety of purposes. Initially, it was used as an office for Sukhi Gill until 2005 before becoming a boutique shop for his daughter, Sameena. It was later rented out as short-term accommodation and eventually became an upstairs dining area for the café below.
At the end of the café tenancy, the Gill family decided it was time for a complete transformation. The vision, brought to life by Arjun and Dolly Gill, was to create a luxurious ‘home away from home’ in the heart of the city — not only for their own enjoyment but also for travellers and locals seeking premium accommodation on one of Christchurch’s most iconic streets. And so, Elysian Du Regent was born.
Whatever the occasion, this elegant hotel puts you in the middle of the action. Easy walking to the city’s best bars and artisan eateries, boutique stores, coolest cafés and key attractions such as the Isaac Royal Theatre, Te Pae Convention Centre, and Christchurch Art Gallery, Elysian Du Regent is the perfect location to experience the best of Christchurch’s culture and hospitality.
