Book the Round Hill Hotel & Villas with VIP Benefits

Montego Bay has a romantic ring, conjuring up a Jamaican paradise and heavenly weddings or honeymoon destinations. Round Hill Hotel & Villas is the embodiment of those images.

The resort displays its colonial architecture, beachfront situation, bay views, and lavish accommodations half-hidden among lush tropical foliage. Ever popular with global celebrities, the hotel has also maintained its attraction for over half a century.

Location

The hotel benefits from its seclusion on a private beach, ensuring a restful stay for any guest or incognito celebrity. The nearest town is Hopewell, which is a short drive away. Moreover, the main airport is Sangster International, about a half-hour ride to/from the property.

The complex also stretches out in gracious magnificence over 110 acres of palm groves and powdery white sands along Caribbean blue shorelines west of Montego Bay.

With peaceful lawns, splendid private pools, island food, first-class service, and warm Jamaican hospitality, few guests will want to leave the hotel complex. Besides, the top-class golfing at Tryall Golf Course or river-rafting on the Great River may tempt you.

Style and Hospitality

Round Hill Hotel & Villas was transformed into a hotel in the 1950s and has been famous for a long time. It entertains world leaders, writers, artists, and movie stars. Furthermore, the elegance of a former age is evident in the architecture, furniture, and furnishings.

Formerly a pineapple plantation (now the complex motif), the hotel retains a colonial feel and unique old-school hospitality. A nod to its British history is in the signature British Racing Green color that punctuates the lawns' natural greens and lush foliage.

The lobby also features the original black and white check flooring, and staff still light the candles in a chandelier dating from the 18th century.

Round Hill Hotel & Villas is a family-friendly resort with the pineapple kids club.

The Rooms

Round Hill Hotel & Villas has 36 oceanfront guest rooms, individually designed by Ralph Lauren, and 27 luxury villas. All have a colonial flavor in the decor but are supremely comfortable and have plenty of modern amenities.

The guest rooms are all in the Pineapple House, with stunning views of the bay and vibrant sunsets from expansive windows or private balconies. Moreover, each has white Louvre windows and bamboo 4-poster beds enclosed in filmy white material. There are also immaculate white linen and overhead fans that reference plantation times.

Moreover, bright color accents and pineapple motifs give modern Jamaican touches to the décor. Bathrooms are also roomy with deep tubs, rain showers, and luxury toiletries. Other courtesies include a pillow menu and a Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee maker.
