We recently spent a couple of nights at the 37-key Eden Rock St. Barths Resort, part of Oetker Hotels. Eden Rock is definitely St. Barths’ most iconic hotel, and arguably one of the Caribbean’s most well known properties. It has a cult following, and peak season rates defy economics… and that assumes you can even get a room.
While there’s no denying that this property is about seeing and being seen, it’s one I’ve always been curious to check out from a luxury hospitality perspective (for the record, I love people watching, so I guess like to “see,” but I absolutely don’t like to be “seen,” as I’m an introvert). I wanted to check out whether the hotel is actually world class, or if this is just about the scene.
Anyway. Eden Rock is fascinating, and in many ways, it’s unlike any other luxury hotel I’ve stayed at. You stay here for the quirky and fun vibe, the people watching, the spectacular location on St. Jean Bay, and the good dining.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
