First impressions: The Hotel DeBrett building was originally built in 1841, and despite two fires and two rebuilds, its iconic facade remains much the same. The foyer is cosy and intimate, with a grand wooden staircase leading up to the first and second floors. The custom-made striped carpet will be etched into your mind forever; it s a unique part of the decor throughout the hotel and the hotel branding, with its stripes of burgundy, black, blue and yellow.
