A stylish and memorable stay with wonderful hospitality in the perfect Auckland location.
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel DeBrett. The location was fantastic and made it so easy to explore Auckland on foot, with great restaurants, shopping and the waterfront all close by.

We were also very unexpectedly upgraded on arrival, which was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. The room itself was incredible, full of character and beautifully styled. We especially loved the art deco inspired decor, which gave the hotel such a unique and luxurious feel.

The staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay and genuinely made us feel looked after. The bar also had a wonderful atmosphere and was a great place to relax at the end of the day.
