If you are the type of person who is bored with the bland impersonality of chain hotels and faceless organisations, then this might be just the place for you. We don’t have all the amenities of the big monolith hotel institutions, but instead we offer more subtle benefits such as a warm friendly ambiance, a sense of bonhomie and a genuine personal passion for making your stay as wonderful as it possibly can be.

Guests arrive at our Moroccan Riad-inspired front door - the exterior gives little away. When you ring the doorbell and are welcomed in personally. The first thing you will see, directly opposite the door, is a life-size sculpture of our Goddess Ishtar and her duo of owls seated at her feet. Every Ziggurat needs a goddess

Our deep red reception lets guests know that they have stepped out of traditional Guernsey surroundings. Our intention is that your experience feels a little bit different from other hotels. A little bit more cosy, personal, homely and special.

Our Bedrooms

Each is decorated in a similar style but every one is unique in some way. All but three rooms have a terrace or balcony overlooking the harbour and islands. Our loft rooms share a large terrace with unparalleled views that even impress the locals.

We want to make it clear right from the outset that bedrooms are not huge. If we had not been limited by the footprint of the building we would have loved to have built large suites for everyone, but it was not to be. However please make the hotel your home. 

Don't while away your time in your bedroom if you’d like to spread out and have more space. Make the dining room your daytime study, the lounge into your social meeting spot, the huts into your private meeting rooms and the garden into your lazing lounge.
