Hotel DeBrett
High Street, central CBD; Auckland, New Zealand
Hotel DeBrett offers a small and vividly individual stay on High Street, close to the shopping and dining of central Auckland. Its twenty-five rooms have distinct layouts and personalities, combining mid-century furniture, New Zealand art and the hotel's recognisable striped carpet. Bathrooms provide deep tubs, separate walk-in showers and underfloor heating, adding a practical level of comfort to the decorative character. The current restaurant, Vivace Restaurant & Bar at DeBretts, serves European and New Zealand-influenced food in a convivial setting, with sharing plates and a considered drinks list. The hotel's scale encourages a more intimate city break, particularly for couples or travellers who prefer a room with a specific identity. Its location also makes it easy to move between High Street, Britomart and the lower city on foot. Choose DeBrett for local art, an engaging interior and the pleasure of staying in a compact hotel that feels closely tied to the streets around it.
