New Zealand’s first modular hotel will be finished next month, bringing a 12-year journey by its owners to a conclusion.

The 80-room hotel, at the corner of Colombo and Salisbury streets in central Christchurch, will be run as the Arden Hotel by operators Golden Grand Trading.

The hotel has been built using 17 metre-long double room and corridor modules made in a factory in Vietnam. The modules included all fixtures, fittings and furniture, right down to bathrooms and painting.
