Description
The Crystal Palace Bed and Breakfast is a guest house located in Dronningens Quarter in the heart of St. Thomas' Historic district. She is surrounded by a dozen other colonial mansions -hearty survivors of the Golden Age of St. Thomas, when the merchant barons of the islands built their elaborate homes on Synagogue Hill.
The great room of The Crystal Palace Bed and Breakfast is a dramatic frame for the spectacular view from the enclosed gallery. Eclectic mahogany spans the ages, from please-don't-sit antiques to 1960s & 70s pieces and everything in between.
The Crystal Palace B & B is a treasure trove of traditional West Indian architectural details: tray ceilings, wrought iron gates, hardwood floors, chandeliers and Moroccan tiles. Selected paintings from the Lockhart collection of period and contemporary St. Thomas island art complete the decor.
