The Pacific Tower, located in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand, has since its construction in 2010 been the city's tallest building at 86.5 metres (284 ft) in height, succeeding the Hotel Grand Chancellor and the PricewaterhouseCoopers building.[1] It is also the tallest building in the world further south than Wellington.[2] A major user of the building is the 171-room Rendezvous Hotel. The building was closed from the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake until 1 May 2013 for repairs. Levels 1 to 14 are used for the hotel, levels 15 to 22 are apartments and Level 23 is for services and plant room.[3]
