Admiral's Inn & Gunpowder Suites
Historic boutique hotel within a UNESCO World Heritage Site
About the hotel
Admiral’s Inn is a historic boutique hotel located in the heart of English Harbour at Nelson’s Dockyard on Antigua’s south coast, set within restored 18th-century naval buildings. The property forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a unique stay surrounded by colonial architecture, marina views and an active sailing and yachting atmosphere. It is known for its character-rich setting rather than modern resort facilities, combining heritage charm with a small, intimate hotel experience directly on the waterfront.
A key highlight is its location within Nelson’s Dockyard itself, giving guests immediate access to restaurants, bars, museums and the marina. Galleon Beach can also be reached by water taxi, while Falmouth Harbour, Pigeon Point Beach and Shirley Heights are all close by.
