The Cool List: the Coolest Hotels in the Caribbean for 2024
They’re different. They’re fun, they’re colorful, they’re unique. They’re themselves. The Caribbean has no shortage of cool hotels and in this, Caribbean Journal’s 12th annual Cool List, we highlight the places that hit you in a different way, that do their own thing and make you feel inevitably, endlessly, impossibly, cool.
From beachfront hideaways in Eleuthera to tucked-away boutiques in French St Martin, you’ll find our favorite. So how do we define “cool,” a word that always defies definition? Well, let’s just say, you know it when you see it.
Enjoy the 2024 edition of the CJ Cool List.

There’s everything: a hip cocktail bar in a former troops’ barracks, a “rum and wine cellar,” an art gallery and an all-inclusive program that helps you dive right into the island’s local culture and environment.
