RetroReview: S3250 Nyx Christchurch (as Arlington Hotel)

I visited this premises one rebuild and two rebrand ago - when it was the Arlington Hotel (yes, there were two Arlington Hotels, owned by the same person at the time) and it still had a nightclub - Copper Alley.

But virtually nobody ever knew what the nightclub was called, and it was best known as the long term (and I believe) original home of the gay clubnight Mother; the only thing I was ever aware of ever being held there.

Since those visits - there were many - the hotel rebranded as the Parliament; then shut for a refurb and reopened as the Hard Rock Hotel, then rebranded to Nyx. It has been about 15 years, but that's quite the set of changes for one hotel.
