Stylish rooms in restored Uptown Kingston buildings, and the best value base for a walkable stay.

You want to walk to dinner and spend more on meals than on the room

A boutique hotel spread across several restored historic buildings in Uptown Kingston's Stockade District, with a restaurant, bar and gym. Rooms are calm and well designed, and you're walking distance from Kingston's best restaurants, bars and shops.


I recommend it for clients who want a town base for a few nights of eating, drinking and day trips. The trade-off is that there's no pool or spa, and the rooms are split across buildings, so it feels more like a chic inn than a full-service hotel.
