Bath Hotel

Nevis


Built in 1778, this venerable hilltop structure lays claim to the title of 'first hotel in the Caribbean' and was the hub of Nevisian social life through the 19th century. A who’s who of politicians, crowned heads and the merely moneyed were drawn by its lavish gardens, fanciful dining rooms and hot thermal springs. It now houses government offices.
