A sumptuous entryway and architecture from a time gone by – soft and kind are the keywords within this building. The Old Government House Hotel promises to restore both inner peace and a zest for life with a number of small details that definitely won’t go unnoticed. Located on the island of Guernsey – the same place where Victor Hugo stayed in the mid 19th century to write Les Misérables – in Saint-Pierre-Port, this 5-star hotel is able to make the ultimate experience out of any time spent within its faux pas-less fortress.
Known for the extraordinary quality of its services, the Old Government House follows its mantra to a T – “No request is too large, no detail too small.” 63 rooms, a breathtaking view of the sea, a restaurant that specializes in the art of curry, an exceptional whisky bar… this hotel also boasts a Moroccan style spa with a number of delights for the body. With its contemporary twist on art de vivre, the Old Government House is exceptional in that it presents itself as ideal for both short and long stays. With endless promenades along quintessentially English cliffsides, the atmosphere of the ile of Guernsey is an infinite treat, while the hotel itself boasts a central pool overlooking a pale blue sea amidst its corridors decorated with classic paintings and maps of the Channel Islands. Like a beautiful encounter between past and present, this hotel has the unique ability to cut off its guests from the rest of the world. Alongside its decadent and soft service, the Old Government House has close to two centuries of history captured within its walls… This place is worth a visit, if nothing for its air thick with memories to be recreated… starting perhaps with its essential afternoon tea, one of the hotel’s icons.
