Experience the "Jewel of Kings Quarter".
High above Charlotte Amalie's harbor, Hotel 1829 embodies the soul of St. Thomas in its grand rooms and graceful courtyards. Originally built as a French trader's mansion, this architectural masterpiece continues to charm guests with its distinctive character, offering a sophisticated island experience that larger properties simply cannot replicate.
Reclaiming its status as the premier stay in Charlotte Amalie.
Original rubble walls and hand-painted tiles from the 1800s anchor the authentic character of Hotel 1829, creating a natural harmony with its luxurious modern amenities. The property's fifteen uniquely designed rooms radiate outward from a stunning courtyard, while a rare Tiffany stained glass window casts jeweled light across spaces that have hosted everyone from Jackie Onassis to Paul McCartney.
A history of hospitality.
Some guestrooms feature private or shared balconies with sweeping harbor views, while others overlook the serene courtyard, where a cascading waterfall provides a soothing island soundtrack. Inside, each bathroom blends historic architecture with modern fixtures, complemented by bespoke toiletries and plush bathrobes. Hotel 1829’s expert concierge curates personalized island experiences, while nightly turndown service ensures every evening ends on a perfect note.
The Restaurant & Bar at Hotel 1829 delivers a dining and drinking experience as rich in history as it is in flavor. Housed within one of the oldest bars in St. Thomas, it serves elevated fare, handcrafted cocktails, and "The Rumpourium," an exclusive journey through fine rums with curated flights and expert-led tastings. Just outside in the lush garden, Lavallette’s Café provides a charming spot for guests to enjoy light bites. Whether dining al fresco in the garden café or sipping a rare rum on the veranda, every moment is steeped in island tradition.
Located on Government Hill in the King's Quarter of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas Island, within walking distance of Blackbeard's Castle and 99 Steps.
