We earned these awards because we enjoy what we do. Our guests are the center of the Pink Palm experience, crafted through our signature art deco tropical yet modern design, excellent and charming service, stunning views, exquisite food, and luxurious amenities. 

Some of our favorite recent awards include:

One of the Best Hotels of the World

Best Hotels of the World award by National Geographic. Getting recognized by this iconic institution was a humbling moment. We were rated as one of the 22 best hotels in the world. And being the front page photo of the awards was exhilarating!

National Geographic’s editors, writers, photographers, and explorers research and rate the hotels. Their perspective:

The best hotels offer more than somewhere to lay your head. They connect you to local communities and provide the kind of memory-making activities that tempt you to extend your stay.

“The best views might be from the infinity pool,” according to owner Brent Pelton.

Set high in the hillsides above Charlotte Amalie’s harborfront, the adults-only hotel is a collection of six mid-20th-century buildings decorated with art deco touches and palm tree prints. Stay here for the proximity to the Danish colonial architecture of the capital plus onsite pink rattan swings that’ll look swell in vacation snaps.

Best USVI Hotel for Couples

We were bestowed the Best USVI Hotel for Couples award by Forbes Magazine. The magazine featured us as one of the Top 8 Hotels in the US Virgin Islands. We are especially honored by this award because we love love!

“Who Will Love It: Newlyweds; couples; parents craving a weekend away from the kids.”

This adults-only paradise boasts extraordinary hillside views of the city and the sea. With such an air of tranquility, the hotel prides itself as a top spot for couples seeking a quiet, romantic getaway. If you’re looking for new date night experiences, check out the award-winning on-site restaurant El Barsito for crafted cocktails and breathtaking views. Couples in the mood for exploration can spend the night traversing through downtown, which is just steps from the hotel.

Our business is built on love, and we thrive on creating romantic, unforgettable experiences for our guests, so we are particularly thrilled with this recognition.

Best Boutique Hotel in the Caribbean

We are in the boutique hotel business because we love boutique hotels. We were recently given the Best Boutique Hotel in the Caribbean by the Caribbean Travelers’ Choice Awards (2024).

They’re the world’s top experts on Caribbean travel: Caribbean Journal readers. And once again, the largest community of Caribbean travelers on the planet has spoken, selecting the winners of the annual Caribbean Journal Travelers’ Choice Awards. 

Winning a Caribbean Journal Caribbean Travelers’ Choice Award is a powerful seal of approval for a destination or hotel,” said Alexander Britell, editor and publisher of Caribbean Journal. “It means you are preferred by the travelers who know the Caribbean better than anyone else. Congratulations to this year’s impressive slate of winners!

One of the Top 50 Hotels in the Caribbean

We were rated One of the Top 50 Hotels in the Caribbean by The Times travel writer Nigel Tisdall, who described it as an arty new boutique for the grown-ups.

Over the last three decades, our writer has tried and tested hundreds of hotels across 27 islands. Here are the ones he’d tell his closest friends about

Nigel Tisdall “I’ve stayed everywhere in the Caribbean — these are the 50 best hotels”

Opened this year on St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, this 28-room, adults-only hotel is a smart base for exploring the cosmopolitan streets of Charlotte Amalie and its engaging legacies from the days when the USVI capital was under Danish rule. It incorporates original features from six 1940s buildings and the mood is “artist’s guesthouse” with retro lamps and furniture, palm-decorated wallpaper and stylish kitchenettes. There’s a pool, harbour views and a tastefully pink restaurant with a terrace serving simple dishes such as watermelon salad and shrimp risotto.

 

A Top Romantic Restaurant in St Thomas and Top Restaurant in the Caribbean

We were elated when El Barsito, our restaurant, was honored with two awards when we were rated as one of the top restaurants in the Caribbean and one of the top romantic restaurants in St Thomas by Open Table.
