the ultimate staycation
Enjoy a weekend away in your own city with Hotel DeBrett.
In an alternate universe, we would hold a billionaire’s bank account and the time of a retiree, and with these luxuries we would most certainly spend our lives permanently on holiday. In reality however, things are not quite so cushy.
Lucky then, for affordable luxuries like the ‘staycation’ – the ultimate getaway without actually leaving your city. The chance to check into a great hotel, slow down a little, and take a brief respite from life, without all the fuss of catching that god awful early morning flight. It also lets you rediscover your city, and indulge in things you wouldn’t normally do.
One inner city sanctuary that fits our staycation requirements is Auckland’s boutique Hotel DeBrett. Located on High street in the grand DeBrett’s building, the hotel is positioned perfectly amongst the very best of Auckland’s CBD. For the month of September, the hotel has a special accommodation offer that makes the idea of a staycation even more irresistible. Book a night at Hotel DeBrett before 30 September 2012 and you will enjoy a complimentary room upgrade. Each guest will also receive a free cocktail at Housebar when you mention Denizen on arrival.
Hotel DeBrett has been kind enough to offer a giveaway to one lucky reader, to coincide with the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s Tower Season of Cinderella. The winner will enjoy a night’s accommodation in one of DeBrett’s spacious Loft suites, two tickets to Cinderella, a post-show dinner at DeBrett’s in-house restaurant Kitchen and a night cap at the hotel’s Housebar. A night of great food, pirouettes and a spacious suite in which to relax – this has all the makings of the ultimate staycation.
*This competition is now closed.
To enter, email [email protected] and briefly tell us why you should be enjoying a staycation at Hotel DeBrett. Entries close at 4pm Monday 3rd of September. The winner must be available on Saturday 8 September, as tickets to Cinderella are for this night only.
