Simon Hotel This high-rise hotel is prized for its downtown Fort de France location and the sophisticated design of its public spaces and guests rooms and suites. One of the benefits of being the tallest building in town: spectacular views from the rooms and the terrace of the BoliBar, which overlooks the Baie des Flamands. La Francais beach is a short walk away, in the shadow of Fort Saint Louis; local ferries can speed guests to less urban destinations like Trois Iets, Le Bourg, Pointe du Bout, Anse Mitan, Anse à l’Ane, and Case-Pilote. (It’s also home to one of the island’s top rum shops).
