"A transformational redevelopment of eight blocks of formerly abandoned buildings into an 80-room resort-museum complex, showcasing hand-painted guest rooms that retain original 18th- and 19th-century features like carved mahogany, teak, high colonial ceilings, and wooden shutters. Amenities include two freshwater pools, five restaurants, a spa, a sculpture garden featuring local artist Hortense Brown, and numerous design installations, while the on-site museum presents rare African art and a thoughtful, educational exploration of the island’s legacy of slavery." - Laura Feinstein
