Old Government House

This historic townhouse has been open for business since 1858 and is now Guernsey's first and only 5 star property. Purchased by the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, the hotel has undergone extensive renovations, however the essence of the building has survived and it still feels very much like an old club, with grand decor and sumptuous furnishings. For authentic Indian cuisine dine in The Curry Room at The Governor’s or, for those wanting a more relaxed scenario, The Brasserie is the place. To complete the picture, there is an outdoor swimming pool, gardens health club and spa. Breakfast, WiFi and valet car parking are included in the price.
