Copper and Lumber Store hotel: Antigua, Caribbean

Perfectly located in the heart of one of the world's most famous luxury yachting ports, The Copper & Lumber Store Hotel is a unique country inn with extraordinary charm. Throughout the length and breadth of the Eastern Caribbean there is no more romantic place than beautiful English Harbor and Nelson's Dockyard. The Copper & Lumber Store Hotel is situated in the centre of historic Nelson's Dockyard. The hotel is located in one of the original buildings, constructed by Lord Nelson during the period 1783 when it was used to store copper and lumber for ship building and maintenance.

Recognized as a perfect harbor for the British Naval Fleet, English Harbour was in regular use as a garrisoned station from 1704. Lord Horatio Nelson headquartered his fleet in Antigua until 1789, and it remained in use by the Royal Navy until 1889.

The process of authentic restoration and conversion of the property into a Georgian Inn was begun in 1982 to 1988. Today the hotel is a luxurious blend of gracious living and fascinating naval history. The hotel consists of 14 suites or studios, each named after one of Lord Nelson's ships. All are superbly furnished in period furniture and fittings.
