What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Opened in 1891 as the only first-class hotel on St Helier's seafront, the Grand Jersey has accumulated more history than most.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
St Aubin's Bay sits across the esplanade, where you can walk over the sands to Elizabeth Castle at low tide.
The rooms
Rooms come in teal and olive tones, and many look directly out across St Aubin's Bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits underground, illuminated with blue underwater lights beside dark tiled pillars.
The spa and gym
The two-floor spa has a thermal suite, a gym, and six treatment rooms for facials and body rituals.
Restaurant
The Terrace
The oceanfront terrace serves grilled seafood and cocktails, with resident DJ sessions on summer evenings.
At the table
Tassili serves regional tasting menus by candlelight. The Champagne Lounge pours drinks over a curved mosaic bar.
How it began
Savoy Hotel architect Thomas Edward Collcutt designed the building in 1890, fronting the esplanade with an elevated terrace.
