A few hotels line the three streets facing Christ Church Cathedral and its picture-perfect lawns. If this is the view you're after, and if you're not in the mood to tolerate any degree of abnormality in a hotel room, then check into the massive, 182-room Jurys Inn Christchurch.
Part of a chain of hotels spanning Ireland and the U.K., the Jurys Inn offers reliable three-star surrounds and service with all the usual amenities: soundproofed windows, bathtubs in every room (a Dublin rarity), and an onsite bar and restaurant. Rooms are simple with nondescript modern furnishings (light wood headboards and nightstand are attached to the wall), and curtains are made of the same material as the bedspreads. Floors are covered in clean red carpet. Bathrooms, tiled in white, have rather small sinks.
Note: Christ Church Place is a surprisingly busy thoroughfare, so a room a few floors up (though still facing the church) may be preferable. Three of the six floors are designated as nonsmoking.
