The Copper and Lumber Store Hotel

Forget a pool. Forget a beach. This is the 18th-century "museum hotel" of English Harbour. It was originally a warehouse that stored wood and copper for the repair of British sailing ships. The hotel and its adjacent harborfront structures were built of brick that once was used as ships' ballast. Each unit evokes the British colonial era of Antigua's 19th-century history, with exposed bricks and heavy timbers, and with fine Chippendale and Queen Anne reproductions, antiques, brass chandeliers, hardwood paneling, and hand-stenciled floors. Each suite has a kitchen with aging equipment. The downside to a sojourn here involves a stream of visitors who view the place as a museum rather than an inn.

Facilities:
Restaurant (which opens only erratically, if at all, June-Oct); pub; babysitting; ferry service to Galleon Beach
