Island Heritage Above St Peter Port

Why The Old Government House Hotel & Spa stands apart

  • A singular Guernsey address: The island's only five-star hotel brings history and warmth to a central St Peter Port setting.

  • Harbor and island views: Selected rooms and suites look toward Castle Cornet, Herm and Sark.

  • Garden-led calm: Terraces, lawns, pool and spa create a resort-like pause above town.

  • A distinctive island extension: Guernsey adds coastal walks, history and neighboring-island excursions to a British or French itinerary.

Who will feel at home here

The Old Government House Hotel & Spa is a beautiful choice for:

  • Couples and anniversary travelers.

  • Families and multi-generational island trips.

  • History, gardens and coastal-walk enthusiasts.

  • Guests adding the Channel Islands to London, Normandy or Brittany.

Why plan The Old Government House Hotel & Spa with Evyssa

The most memorable independent hotels are chosen with the traveler—not simply the destination—in mind. The right room, outlook, atmosphere and season can transform the entire stay.

With more than 20 years in travel, deep expertise across Europe and luxury destinations worldwide, and established hotel relationships, Evyssa will:

  • Match The Old Government House Hotel & Spa to the travelers, occasion and wider journey.

  • Compare room position, outlook, layout, privacy and connecting possibilities before recommending an accommodation.

  • Confirm the hotel's current Red Carnation Hotel Collection affiliation and any qualifying Coastline preferred or property-level partner or Virtuoso privileges for the exact stay.

  • Communicate celebrations, family needs, dietary preferences, accessibility considerations and other special requests.

  • Connect the hotel with private touring, dining, transfers, flights, rail journeys, cruises and the rest of the itinerary.

  • Support travelers before, during and after the journey.

For qualifying stays, Evyssa's preferred relationships may add thoughtful privileges such as daily breakfast for two, a hotel, dining, spa or resort credit, VIP recognition, a welcome amenity and priority consideration for an upgrade or preferred arrival and departure times. Exact privileges depend on the property, room, rate, dates, occupancy and qualifying program; availability-based amenities are confirmed whenever possible rather than guaranteed.

Let St Peter Port become part of the story

Share who is traveling, what you are celebrating and how you want the journey to feel. Evyssa will shape the stay around your priorities, confirm the preferred privileges attached to the exact reservation and connect the hotel with the wider itinerary from arrival to journey home.
