A Jewel of Kings Quarter, Making Headlines

Hotel 1829, proudly perched above Charlotte Amalie, was recently featured in the October edition of St. Thomas Magazine. Recognized for its unique blend of history, culture, and hospitality, Hotel 1829 continues to capture the hearts of locals and travelers alike. Built in 1829 as a grand residence and transformed into a hotel in 1906, this landmark has stood the test of time — and today it remains one of the most iconic destinations in the Virgin Islands.

As the only property in the U.S. Virgin Islands recognized by Historic Hotels of America, Hotel 1829 isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a living piece of history. Guests are welcomed with sweeping harbor views, and can also visit the hotel’s bar — the oldest bar in St. Thomas.

Sundays Are for Brunch

The magazine spotlight also highlighted one of Hotel 1829’s newest traditions: Sunday Brunch. From 10 AM to 2 PM, guests and locals can savor signature island-inspired dishes and sips, including:
