Another major Christchurch hotel will be demolished as the future of the quake-stricken city was made a little clearer today.

This has been followed by confirmation from the owners of the Crowne Plaza Hotel that the badly damaged building will not be rebuilt, although they have signalled that they intend to keep a presence in Christchurch.
