Hotel de Ville: n. "a place - cinematic and darkly seductive. Otherworldly voice and orchestral strings mix with down tempo beats and atmospheric reflection."
Hotel de Ville is the musical vehicle for composer and vocalist Rhett Brewer. A cinematic space which is distinctly left-bank Paris in feel, Hotel de Ville mixes trip-hop beats with intimite orchestra and Rhett's other-worldly voice.

"The Path to 9/11" and in several films in Europe. With the release of the collaborative compilation album These Wings Without Feathers featuring Brewer (Ronan Quays) and Lisa Gerrard in 1996, Brewer's music was introduced to an international audience.
