The Crane Resort & Residences
St. Philip, Barbados 

Overlooking a perfect azure blue sea, the Crane Resort and Residences is the Caribbean's first resort hotel. Since 1887, this premier luxury resort has offered discerning guests an idyllic getaway, combining elegance and incredible natural beauty with a romantic sense of seclusion. The original hotel boasts charming, spacious oceanfront apartments with hardwood floors, 12' ceilings and exquisite antique furniture. Many rooms also feature fully equipped kitchens and wrap-around balconies with spectacular ocean views. Private residences feature Oriental carpets and hand-crafted Barbadian mahogany furniture, objects d'art, mahogany four-poster king size beds, and Jacuzzis. In addition, each ground floor residence at The Crane carries a full-sized pool with a "disappearing edge," and upstairs two-bedroom residences boast private plunge pools and breathtaking Atlantic views.

Dining choices include the Zen Restaurant, serving Thai and Japanese delicacies, with Tatami rooms for private dining, and L'Azure, famous for classic cuisine and fresh Caribbean-inspired seafood dishes, as well as the ever-popular Sunday Gospel Breakfast. In addition, the newly opened Carriage House poolside restaurant serves cocktails and light cuisine daily. For style-seekers, visit The Crane’s historic main swimming pool—the setting for countless fashion photographs—and for state-of-the-art relaxation, enjoy the 1.5-acre multi-cascading pool and Jacuzzi complex. Concierge service is at-the-ready to assist with car rental, activities planning, restaurant bookings and in-room spa treatments. Convenient to island attractions and entertainment, The Crane is less than 10 minutes from the Grantley Adams International Airport.
