Project Description:

This is a 500-room, classic resort hotel, situated on a 20-acre beachfront site and part of the Rose Hall Plantation. The hotel, adjacent to an 18-hole golf course and the picturesque ruins of an ancient aqueduct and sugar mill, takes advantage of the gently sloping terrain and provides ocean views from all guestrooms.  The hotel complex is low-lying and intended to resemble a rambling structure, which does not intrude upon the landscape. The gracious architecture of the old plantation great houses is recaptured in the roof forms and arcaded verandas.

 The lobby of the hotel affords a view toward the sea and includes a tropical garden. At the end of the lobby, silhouetted against the sea view, is a dramatic circular stairway that leads down to a lower floor, which is at the pool/terrace level. The original hotel was designed in 1967 and continues to thrive at the millennium, proving its enduring qualities.
