Hotels in St Barts Hôtel Barrière Le Carl Gustaf bar

Le Carl Gustaf, A St Barth Destination 

A fantastic property, perched on the side of a hill high above the town, as if floating between the land and the Caribbean Sea. This iconic hotel that opened in the early 90s has reinvented itself, adding a new chapter to its unique history, with glorious décor by the prestigious interior architectural firm Gilles & Boissier.

Screened by lush vegetation, a sense of seclusion, overlooking the portside capital of Gustavia with the air of a colonial house. A tropical paradise, an escape with a beautiful aura. Spectacular viewpoints and a timeless panorama, embracing fishing boats and captivating yachts. 

The promise of completely letting go, the experience of ultimate luxury. Yours. Nothing is imposed upon you. 

Here, time passes in a slow evolution of soft, enigmatic light, the only way to know the day advances, Suspended moments, intangible, indescribable. The rare sensation of total liberty and privacy, yet close to the effervescence of the town.

From the first rays of the new dawn until the anticipated hour of the sunset, the hotel with its traditional white clapboard, reveals its secrets, its perspectives, its play of shadows, and gardens; a pure tropical Eden.

Like a large home, yet intimate, Le Carl Gustaf has 21 keys for its guests to open bungalows, suites, a loft, and a villa. A home where one does not simply stay, but takes pleasure in residing.  And how downright luxurious is the concept of becoming a regular here?

Just a few steps from the private terraces and pools, each offering a spectacular view, one finds beautiful Shell Beach, with a fusion of white sand and seashells, and home to the hotel’s beach club restaurant Shellona.

not forgetting the hotel’s new restaurant LE BEEFBAR

We invite you to unpack your bags, make yourself at home, at your home away from home. Settle in at the Carl Gustaf.
