King Christian Hotel  

On the Christiansted waterfront in the heart of Christiansted, St. Croix — a historic waterfront boutique hotel overlooking Fort Christiansvaern and steps from the Christiansted National Historic Site. Protestant Cay and Cay Beach are a short water taxi or ferry hop away, making this a prime pet-friendly, waterfront stay for sightseers and snorkelers.

This intimate, historic property blends Old World charm with bright, tropical décor — think terra cotta floors, bespoke furniture and marble-clad bathrooms in many rooms. About 40 remodeled rooms and suites range from studios to one‑bedroom suites, many with private patios or sea-facing balconies and in-room essentials like A/C, coffee maker, fridge and in‑suite baths.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge in a shaded courtyard or watch the harbor from a terrace or garden. On-site Caribbean Sea Adventures runs Buck Island trips, sport-fishing, kayak tours and scuba excursions; onsite services include hair salon, wedding services, parking, elevator access and a hotel safe — and yes, pets are welcome. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and easy access to waterfront activities.

24-hour front desk, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, a front‑desk safe deposit box and a common-area microwave; self parking is available (charges may apply).

Multiple on-site dining options include Louisa's Lounge and Caroline's plus a casual café-restaurant, Avocado Pitt, serving tropical island smoothies and ice cream. Four bars and lounges and three restaurants keep things easy and local-flavored after a day of diving, shopping or exploring Christiansted.
