A stay at this charming downtown hotel puts you right in the heart of Christiansted’s shopping and business district and a five-minute walk from the seaplane connection to St. Thomas. If your budget allows, opt for one of the dozen more expensive rooms across the courtyard from the lobby. They have French doors that open onto water views, mahogany four-poster beds, and Indonesian print spreads and drapes. The other rooms are attractive, but a bit more pedestrian. A sandy beach is just a quick ferry ride away.
