Originally built as a warehouse for sugar and arrowroot in 1814, the core of this historic hotel is made of stone and brick. Today, it's one of the most famous hotels on St. Vincent, known for its labyrinth of passages, arches, and upper hallways. To reach the high-ceilinged reception area, you pass from the waterfront through a stone tunnel into a chiseled courtyard. At the top of a massive sloping stone staircase, you're shown to one of the simple, old-fashioned bedrooms. The most spacious is no. 5, but it opens onto a noisy street. Meals are served on a third-floor aerie, high above the hotel's central courtyard. The hotel is convenient to town, but it's a 5km (3-mile) drive to the nearest beach.
