One of the newest members of Relais & Chateaux, this intimate and charming hideaway is owned and managed by the Hoffman family. Years of living in Europe, Asia, The Bahamas and America and experiencing various cultures and traditions have led the Hoffmans to create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that immediately makes their guests feel at ease, as if among friends and family. Nestled amongst thirty acres of landscaped gardens and dotted with pieces from the family’s private furniture collection, décor throughout the property is classical “island elegance.”
Montpelier offers 17 well-appointed guest rooms, including one suite, each with canopy or four-poster beds complemented by luxurious Porthault linens, and private verandas affording commanding views of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding countryside. Awash in tranquility, there are no televisions, radios or clocks in the guest rooms, fresh fruit and flowers are provided in room daily and the resort’s professional and attentive staff ensures that guests are well cared for.
Free from the daily distractions and hectic pace of modern living, and with relaxation in mind, guests can spend their days enjoying Montpelier’s cool hillside setting with the exquisite hand-laid 60-foot mosaic-tiled pool, manicured gardens, reading gazebo, tennis court and complimentary afternoon tea, or Montpelier by the Sea, the hotel’s private two-acre beach located a short distance away complete with sun gazebos and barman. A host of other activities can be arranged.
In the evening guests can choose between Montpelier’s two gourmet restaurants: the AAA Four Diamond Terrace restaurant, overlooking the nightlights of Charlestown and nearby St Kitts, and The Mill, a small and intimate restaurant located in the plantation’s original 18th century sugar mill. While each restaurant features different prix fixe menus, both use locally grown produce, fruit and herbs from the hotel’s gardens, freshly caught fish, Montpelier-raised pigs and European ingredients flown in as needed, and draw upon the hotel’s extensive wine cellar to create unforgettable dining experiences. Prior to dinner each evening guests are invited to gather in the Great Room for canapés, drinks and comfortable conversation.
