Plantation Inn, nestled 650 feet above the sea in the hills of
dormant Mount Nevis, is a Country House hotel in the tropics. Its air
is tranquil and intimate, its grounds and accommodations are
beautiful, tasteful, and charming, and its service is consistently
and quietly exceptional. Owned since 1964 by James Milnes Gaskell and
his wife Celia, the Montpelier has emerged over the last three
decades as absolutely one of the finest hotels in the Caribbean--and
arguably in the entire world.</P>

vspace=3>The attractions of Montpelier are many, and they begin for
most visitors with the irresistible beauty of the hotel's grounds.
During the 18th century Montpelier was a working sugar plantation,
but today the estate is given over to myriad varieties of tropical
plants. Hibiscus, frangipani, jasmine, flamboyant trees, African
tulip trees, and countless other brilliant and fragrant ornamentals
provide acres of Edenic refuge for the world-weary.</H3>
<H3>The heart of the estate is Montpelier's Great House, an inviting
family home filled with 18th-century antiques and paintings and
furnished with a sense of graceful comfort. Its elegant rooms possess
a romantic history as well, for it was at Montpelier that Horatio
Nelson married Francis Nisbet in 1787. Today, its Drawing Room,
Library & Card Room, and Great Room (where the Bar is found)
provide for a less formal but no less delightful atmosphere, one
characterised by the Inn's many repeat visitors as an ongoing house
party. In fact, it is just this relaxed atmosphere that the Milnes
Gaskells' guests find most appealing.</H3>
<H3 ALIGN=CENTER>If the Great House serves as the focal point of
Montpelier's social life, the eight small bungalows that make up the
Inn's <A HREF="crnevmpi2.htm">lodgings</A> offer a complementary
degree of tranquil seclusion. The rooms are furnished in a cool,
clean tropical style, and each has its own private veranda looking
out to sea. Although telephones are provided, the proximity of the
outside world is kept nicely at bay by the thoughtful absence of
televisions. After a few days in such surroundings, the noisy bustle
of the outside world seems a distant memory, replaced by a soothing
chorus of tree frogs and cicadas.</H3>
