Elegant and classical, this award-winning 5-star hotel is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the Channel Islands, with a top restaurant, an excellent location and a relaxing spa. The Old Government House Hotel & Spa is just a 5-minute walk to the harbor. Dating back to 1858, the building was once the official residence of the island’s Governor. Today, the Old Government House still retains many beautiful original features and a timeless charm and elegance. The building has been lovingly restored and sympathetically refurbished, incorporating the modern facilities of a luxury hotel. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. The Olive Grove, the deck and the outdoor heated pool offer wonderful views over the gardens and the harbor. The state-of-the-art Revolution Health Club is Guernsey's most exclusive private gym. The luxurious spa has 2 whirlpools, a sauna and a steam room offering top-of-the-range hydrotherapy for your whole body. The hotel has won awards for its cuisine and features 2 restaurants, the Curry Room at The Governor’s and the more informal OGH Brasserie.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
