Nestled within the old-world charm of Auckland’s High Street – amid lanes populated with fashion designers, bespoke tailors, barbers and coffee houses – lies the delightfully Art Deco styled Hotel DeBrett. A luxury Auckland boutique hotel just minutes walk from the bustle of the Britomart, lower Queen Street and Auckland’s iconic waterfront. All 25 rooms – each with a distinct personality – are a chic mix of mid-century modern furniture fused with contemporary comforts designed to tickle the senses. The hotels signature restaurant DeBretts Kitchen, specialises in simple, elegant food where menus are seasonal, creative and attuned to local produce, and the iconic Housebar, resplendent in elegant Art Deco detailing, serves delightfully imaginative cocktails with panache.

This was our sixth visit to DeBrett Hotel, unfortunately our room being adjacent to the bar area and right behind the lift shaft made it a very disappointing stay due to a lack of sleep. The room itself was as expected, small but complete with the usual art-deco finishes which make it a very cool room. The bed is really comfy, shame the noise from the lifts running up & down ruined what should have been a relaxing night away for my wife & I. Presumably as we booked through a third party website (Booking.Com) we received the worse room in the hotel. We were going to raise the issue at check-out, but other being asked if we used the mini-bar there was no dialogue or enquiry if we had enjoyed our stay.

We spent the first night of our New Zealand holiday at Hotel DeBrett. The building and decor are beautiful. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed our evening meal in their restaurant. Delicious. We were thrilled to be upgraded to a loft suite which was spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

My Friends and I booked in for Hotel DeBrett's Tipsy High Tea one Saturday and were extremely impressed with the quality and value! 3 delicious Cocktails, a great selection of Teas and superb food made for a fantastic afternoon of fun. The staff at Debrett's are very good and the Hotel restaurant, cocktail bar and guest rooms are outstanding. a great place to stay if you're visiting Auckland - especially if you're fan of the art deco era.

Large room with a living room and big bathroom. The hotel’s restaurant, de Brett’s kitchen, was cozy and the food was wonderful. The decor is retro — sort of like 1970’s. Polite and helpful staff.

Great location that was an easy walk to attractions and restaurants. Small boutique hotel with high quality rooms. Great linens and bed. Quiet. Nice clean and bright bathroom. Window looked on on interior of hotel, no method to manually secure room door from inside. Had breakfast in hotel on last day of stay. A disaster, meltdown by staff. Took an hour to get breakfast and it was cold. No comment or apology by young untrained and unsupervised staff. Manager showed up, carried some glasses around. No interaction with customers. When I noted our dissatisfaction when we checked out, we were ‘thanked for our feedback’. No apology or explanation. Soured what had been a great stay.

Comfortable rooms, very central location and very helpful staff. Parking is nearby (in a Public Car Park.) Quality bed linen and furniture in the rooms. What you would expect from a small - "boutique" hotel in a major city.

We enjoyed our stay here. Quite quirky but clean and comfortable. Very kind and helpful staff. Very good breakfasts. Two things we noted....they do not take Amex and we found the room a little claustrophobic as the windows do not open (which we knew about as they had had problems with the aircon). Very good location. Would recommend.

The Hotel DeBrett is very centrally located to the city centre. Our room was super comfortable and very spacious. And the staff, what can we say, they were so accommodating and attentive and they made sure our stay was exceptional. The restaurant was very good for bfast and dinner as well. I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful hotel.
