Appropriate names have been chosen

It took a while to name the new Princess, but not so long to find names for the restaurants and bar of the new Clarendon Tower. (Incidentally, the Princess Beatrice’s grandmother stayed at the old Clarendon Hotel when she was in Christchurch, and the new complex is still fit for a Queen!) Maddisons takes its name from the architect who designed the last major change to the Clarendon Hotel at the turn of the century, and whose work remains in the old facade which has become part of .Maddisons. Maddisons also has a touch of New York about it, and we think you would

be hard pressed to find anything as good as this in the Big Apple. Maddisons is magnificent. Clarries bar is a play on the name Clarendon and like the old hotel, Clarries will offer a touch of old world service and hospitality, in an environment made for having fun. Rossinis sidewalk cafe has been modelled on the highly successful restaurants of the same name in Sydney and will bring a whole new meaning to fast food. The best European style food, moderate prices, and everything available to eat in or take out from 7 a.m. till late. Rossinis is fun for the whole family.
