This historic boutique hotel features extensive gardens, an infinity-edge swimming pool and free Wi-Fi throughout. The air-conditioned rooms and suites are housed in 18th-century buildings and feature modern amenities. They come with a safety-deposit box, a fan and a private bathroom with a shower and toilet. Guests at Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites will find 2 open-air restaurants. The main restaurant serves fresh, locally sourced international dishes and overlooks the beautiful harbor.

Superb

Absolutely beautiful boutique feel hotel, spotlessly clean and lovely staff. The location is excellent and they have a shuttle boat to the other side and a beautiful beach as well as snorkel equipment and kayaks and paddle boards. Cannot recommend enough.

Tasteful, beautiful, perfect stay!

Loved the colonial style, very historical. Beautiful decor, very helpful, friendly staff. Room was very comfortable and the best was the daybed in the porch!!! The little boat ride to the Boom restaurant is fun

Tranquil setting in a well-located area for walks, restaurants and other attractions

Historic charm, understated luxury complemented by a relaxed atmosphere, and great service. We loved the waterside restaurant and especially the waiter service for breakfast. Much nicer than the buffet breakfast that most hotels offer. On top of this, the setting within a historic dock yard was fantastic, never over-busy but always something happening. We also loved the water taxi, as the resort is on both sides of the harbour. What's more, the taxi will take you to a fantastic beach and beach bar too.

Fantastic location in a beautiful area of Antigua.

Fantastic location in an amazing historical area of Antigua away from the crowds. Right in the centre of the old naval docks with plenty of restaurants within walking distance and two harbours full of amazing yachts and SuperYachts to dream about owning. Two good beaches with great restaurants (LOCA on Galleons and Catherine’s at Pigeon Point, which was a nicer beach but both are good). Would definitely recommend the area and hotel.
