Old Government House Hotel & Spa

Top choice in Guernsey


The OGH is the grande dame of Guernsey's hotels, its characterful interior dotted with objets d'art and its rooms featuring four-poster beds and antique furnishings. A luxurious spa, gym, sheltered pool and two restaurants – a French brasserie and high-end Indian in The Curry Room – are among the perks, as is the personalised service and nightly homemade cookies.
