Small Hotel of the Year: The House, Barbados

There’s just something lovely about this 34-room boutique hotel on the Platinum Coast of Barbados. The champagne breakfast is a great way to start the day, the beach is beautiful and the rooms are luxurious with refreshingly modern touches. And its small size makes it feel like a private club, like you’ve discovered a closely-guarded secret. But more importantly, this place just oozes a sense of place: it’s a hotel that could only be in Barbados. And that’s a wonderful thing.
