But more importantly, the Latimer Hotel Philosophy is that People Matter Most.
Uniquely the Latimer has been owned and operated with the same management for over 30 years. Designed built and privately owned by the Knight family of Christchurch - your hosts PG Knight (Director) and Averil Lark (Manager) have ensured not only that the Latimer has maintained the highest of standards in hotel and function facilities, but that guest's needs have remained their top priority.
This emphasis on visitor comfort is also reflected in the warm and friendly service provided by their staff, to ensure your stay at the Latimer is always a memorable one.
The Latimer Rooms are designed to accommodate both the Leisure and Corporate traveller. You can choose from our Executive Studios or Apartment suites, many with tranquil views of tree lined Latimer Square.
