History

In 1950 when St. Barths was just a gleam in the eye of the rich and famous, local aviator Rémy de Haenen purchased a piece of land on a rocky bluff, and built a simple hotel on it. 

Nearly 75 years later, this property overlooking St. Jean Bay has become a dream destination for pleasure seekers from across the globe, including a non-stop gaggle of celebs ranging from Howard Hughes and Greta Garbo to Leonardo Dicaprio and Jennifer Lopez. 

Today, this A-list Caribbean hotel is owned by David and Jane Matthews, who lovingly restored it following the severe damage it incurred during Hurricane Irma.
