The Pink Palm Hotel has opened its doors in Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The resort, comprising 27 rooms and suites, overlooks the city’s waterfront harbor and is a renovation of Smith’s Fancy, which was used in the 1940s and 1950s as a guesthouse for those in fashion, art, music, and film fields.
The boutique hotel sits on one acre and is composed of six buildings and features a pool, hot tub, cocktail bar, and relaxation areas. Among the offerings at the resort are garden walks to learn about the island’s native species, movie screenings, events featuring local artists and galleries, and live music from local musicians.
All of the deluxe king and grand king suites have outdoor areas balconies, patios, and terraces with water views.
The hotel is initially only offering optional room-delivery breakfast baskets and limited snack items for guests, with plans to open a full-service restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner later this year. Dinner will also be available to guests. The restaurant will be managed by executive chef Bruce Miller, who has held chef positions in restaurants across Manhattan and Long Island’s North Fork, including Mas Farmhouse.
