Kingston's grandest hotel address, this colonial mansion set in large leafy grounds dates from 1924, though rooms (mostly in a new wing) themselves have a smart contemporary feel. The rooms and suites vary from regular to ultra-luxe, but king-size beds are standard – and thumbs up for the grand marble bathrooms. The restaurant is the venue for one of the city’s top Sunday brunches.
Don't be confused when you arrive – the reception is tucked away at the back, rather than sitting front of house.
