Hailed for dazzling views, luxurious accommodations, superb cuisine, and high level of personalized guest service since its opening in 1991, this heavenly hilltop hideaway on the tranquil island of St. Barthélémy in the Caribbean's French West Indies is nearing completion of a major multi-million dollar renovation. The legendary landmark has been transformed into a 21st century glamorous retreat, poised to redefine the global standard for the chic island experience when it re-opens its doors on December 15, 2008.
Hotel Carl Gustaf's new design features a completely new restaurant called Victoria's, where acclaimed Executive Chef Emmanuel Motte will serve his award-winning cuisine, featuring the freshest ingredients possible prepared in cosmopolitan dishes inspired by his French roots and drawing influence from France, the bountiful Caribbean region, and beyond to Asia as well. Completely revamped, the Carl Gustaf Lounge, consistently ranked among the best locations in the world for sunset cocktails, will now offer a stylish yet relaxing setting at any time of day or night, a new menu of petite delicacies for lunch and dinner, and a creative new assortment of signature drinks. Live music will keep the vibe going long after sunset.
A pristine new Boutique Spa by Carita will provide a one-of-a-kind sanctuary of peace and tranquility. The spa will feature two treatment/massage rooms – one single and a double for couples. Each will have a private outside deck with loungers, a Hydro Zone with a steam room, a choice of showers with one offering essential oils, and an outside deck with a Jacuzzi/pool with a special jet that guests can "swim against" on one side. In addition to chaise lounges, decks sport a special "ice-fountain" for cold dips when using the Jacuzzi or between steam-room sessions.
For many, the piece de resistance of the renovation may be the Carl Gustaf's indulgent and new "over-the-top" four-bedroom 2,600 square-foot Royale Suite, replete with private entrance, an oversized living room, four separate ensuite bedrooms, a large fully-equipped kitchen, separate lounge area, and several terraces to maximize the island vistas. The loft-like master bedroom with its king-size bed and multi-jet shower has been specially designed for ultimate relaxation and comfort. Outside, guests will enjoy the suite's enchanting 2,600 square-foot walled garden terrace, as well as the exquisite infinity pool and Jacuzzi. Among the island's finest accommodations, the Royale Suite will be ideal for discerning couples, intimate groups, and family.
At just eight square miles, St. Barthélémy is one of the tiniest islands in the Caribbean. Dazzling blue waters are ideal for swimming and every water sport imaginable. Guests can also choose to relax either poolside in the privacy of their suite or select from a wide range of exciting activities from sailing, deep sea fishing and SCUBA diving, to romantic island tours aboard The Carl Gustaf III, the resort's 52' fully-crewed exclusive yacht. Whatever the pleasure, Hotel Carl Gustaf creates tailor-made itineraries that make lifelong memories.
