Travel & Leisure Magazine review:
"It's only steps from Charlotte Amalie's cruise-port. Built for the bride of a 19th-century French sea captain, Hotel 1829 is a confection of Moroccan tile, terraces swimming in lemon yellow allamanda blossoms, fountains, and curving passageways, Tiffany stained-glass mural and 200 year-old human size Italian chess pieces. The 15 rooms are equally atmospheric: cedar ceilings, bamboo platform beds - and the long, lamp lit terrace is wonderful at night, when you can look across bristling palms to the moon drenched waters of St. Thomas Harbor."
The hotel was designed by an Italian architect in a Spanish motif and constructed with Danish and African labor.It took over ten years to build and was finally completed in 1829. The gardens have been recently restored to splendor. The lush tropical gardens have been designed for special events, weddings and the enjoyment of our hotel guests.
In addition to private baths, air conditioning, and cable television, many rooms have private balconies while others surround the pool. Blending textures, the hotel's original old stone walls remain exposed in some rooms as an effective decorator touch. Wake up to a delightful continental breakfast before enjoying the day on St. Thomas.
Hotel 1829's bar was formerly the kitchen of the old mansion. It is famous for backgammon games, leisurely conversation and relaxation that may have you imagining Gable, Hemingway or Errol Flynn! The bar is open Monday through Saturday 3 p.m.-11 p.m.
Our dining room is available for private parties for 20 or more persons only, therefore, as a convenience to our guests, we provide transportation to our companion hotel, The Inn at Blackbeard's Castle for excellent dining. Dining at Blackbeard's Castle
The hotel is focused on adults, and is not suited for children under 12.
