Hope Town Harbour Lodge

Frommer's Review

This much-expanded former private home lies in Hope Town near the beach and harbor. It was the home of Brigadier Thomas Robbins, a retired British army officer, who constructed the original core as his retirement house in 1948. After hurricane damage from Floyd in 1999, the property lay dormant for a while until its recent renovation. Hurricane-strength windows and doors were added, along with new furnishings. Possibly the best addition was the installation of private balconies in all the rooms in the main building, each opening onto a water view. Boardwalks and artful landscaping added other grace notes. Permission was granted for the construction of independent cottages scattered across the ground, each with terra-cotta tile floors. French doors open onto private decks overlooking the grounds. The best way to stay here is to rent the luxurious century-old Butterfly House. In addition to six cottages, the hotel offers six cabanas.
