The lobby at The Fred hotel in Frederiksted.
New Boutique Hotel of the Year: The Fred, St Croix The first new hotel in St Croix in three decades was worth the wait. This marvelously designed property takes the kind of colorful, quirky style you find in places like New York and London and marries it with historic Caribbean cool for a hard-to-match boutique experience. And while it’s small, it’s full service, with a beach, a great little spa and a truly Crucian personality. It’s the essence of a great boutique hotel.
