What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
What was the second hotel to open on the island of St. Barth is back after a thorough renovation, and the result is barely recognizable.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Perched on the hillside of Saint-Jean, the hotel sits a short walk from white-sand beaches, village boutiques, and waterfront bistros.
The rooms
Guest rooms open onto private terraces overlooking the lush grounds, while select suites add secluded plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Fringed umbrellas and striped pink daybeds line the timber deck around the freshwater pool overlooking Saint-Jean Bay.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Romi
Set on the central patio, Romi serves Indonesian-inspired dishes and sunny breakfasts under canvas sails.
At the table
The cocktail lounge serves drinks infused with tropical spices beside retro floral seating and hand-painted botanical murals.
How it began

Originally built in 1974 as the island's second hotel, the property was completely reimagined with playful pastel hues and lush tropical foliage.
