| Description: | Incomparable Cotton House is widely recognized as one of the Caribbean's top established luxury resorts. Located on the tiny Grenadine island of Mustique which is only 3 by 1/2 miles, the Cotton House is situated on a picturesque hillside surrounded by the Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Mustique is one of the most exclusive private islands in the world and the Cotton House is the island's only full-service hotel.
Originally an 18th century coral warehouse and sugar mill, the late British designer, Oliver Messel carefully restored many of the original features of the Cotton House. The Cotton House underwent a full scale renovation, completed in December 1996 and a second phase of the renovation in December 1997: the restoration of an original Oliver Messel house to the "Coutinot House" which now boasts five of the most deluxe and distinctive rooms and suites. The third refurbishment and development in 2004 saw the creation of the two bedroom Cotton Hill Residence, two Duplex Suites, a large swimming pool and a number of plunge pools and the total refurbishment of all existing rooms. The resort offers 17 accommodations (2 bedroom residence, suites, seafront rooms and cottages) spread on 13 landscaped acres featuring an 18th century Cotton warehouse that is now known as the "Great Room", a colonial inspired bar-lounge social setting, ideal for afternoon tea or after dinner cognac and cigars. The fine Veranda Restaurant encompasses the best of the Caribbean flavors incorporating the local supplies in offering a menu that is a simple yet an eclectic international gastronomic experience. A former sugar mill now serves as the setting for the pool house; other facilities include a fitness spa & boutique, the casual dining beach cafe, tennis court and diving center. |
