The Best Hotel Transformations: 2022 Hot List
"The newly reopened Rosewood Le Guanahani is located along an 18-acre peninsula overlooking Marigot Bay, the so-called other side of the island. The resort feels considerably more secluded than some of its competitors because of this, with each of its 66 cottages (all with private entrances; many suites have private pools) enveloped by lazily drooping palm trees and other local fauna. Another perk of its location along this quiet northeast-coast peninsula? The endless breeze wafting across the beachside infinity pool and into Beach House St. Barth, an airy eatery that feels more like a chic friend’s home in the Mediterranean or French Riviera than a resort restaurant in the Caribbean. Another major upside of Le Guanahani recently becoming a Rosewood property is the arrival of the brand’s Sense Spa, which is just as upscale and luxurious as you would expect. Upon arrival, you're handed a refreshing towel and cup of chilled kombucha before being presented with an array of signature, house-blended oils to choose from—little touches that elevated the experience right from the start. Treatment rooms feel private but are still filled with natural light, done up in soft shades of cream and wood, and products include French-Japanese brand EviDens de Beauté and natural skincare brand Soleil Toujour." - CNT Editors
