Stepping Back in Time: The Historic Charm of Company House Hotel
Nestled in the heart of Christiansted, just steps from the bustling boardwalk and vibrant harbor, Company House Hotel is more than a boutique hotel—it’s a living piece of St. Croix's history. Meticulously restored with care and respect for its past, this elegant property offers guests a unique blend of colonial-era charm and modern comfort, making it a must-visit for history lovers and discerning travelers alike.
A Storied Past
Long before welcoming travelers, Company House played a key role in the island’s commercial and cultural life. The building dates back to the 1700s, when it was originally constructed as a Danish merchant’s residence and office. Over the centuries, it evolved alongside Christiansted, serving various roles—from a trade headquarters to a private home—before being transformed into the boutique hotel it is today.
Perhaps most notably, Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s Founding Fathers, is believed to have begun his apprenticeship here as a young clerk. His time on St. Croix shaped much of his early worldview, and his connection to Company House adds a profound historical significance to the property.
Thoughtful Restoration, Timeless Elegance
In recent years, Company House Hotel underwent an extensive restoration, carefully preserving original architectural features while adding the amenities expected by today’s travelers. The result is a stunning balance of 18th-century elegance and 21st-century sophistication.
Guests are welcomed by mahogany woodwork, exposed brick walls, and handcrafted iron details, all lovingly restored to reflect the building’s storied past. Throughout the hotel, vintage photos, period furnishings, and art pieces pay homage to the island’s Danish colonial roots and rich Caribbean heritage.
