Stand-
ing grandly on Cathedral Sq while all around is in ruins, the 1909 Old Government
Building owes its survival to a thorough strengthening when it was converted to a hotel
in the 1990s. After a three-year post-earthquake restoration its spacious suites are more
elegant than ever. All have full kitchens.
