Nestled on a hillside between sea and sky, the Carl Gustaf Hotel is perched above Gustavia, the capital of Saint-Barthelemy. Its 14 luxury suites are spread out on the hillside and plummet into a tropical garden of flowers, palms and jasmine. The hotel boasts a central, convenient downtown location. It's just minutes away from one of the island's most protected coves, Shell Beach.

In order to satisfy a sophisticated, international clientele, the Carl Gustaf offers all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury world-class hotel. Accommodations include a choice of both single or double suites, 80 or 110 square meters of luxurious space to call your very own, surrounded by a verdant "wall" of tropical plants to please the eye and to insure your privacy. All of the suites have western "sunset" exposure, a loggia, a private terrace and plunge pool. Room service is available around the clock.

Relax from your day with a sauna, a massage or a work-out in our private, state-of-the-art gym. You'll have just enough time to head to the restaurant, settle into a comfortable chair and enjoy the setting sun.

Over a cocktail and the strains of live music at the piano bar, you'll watch Gustavia don her evening gown, aflame with a million tiny lights shimmering in the distance...a lyrical end to a perfect day.
