We choose a hotel for a combination of its location, amenities, service and price. Art rarely makes the list. But in the same way that art makes a house a home, it also has the power to subtly but significantly transform a hotel into a more personal, intimate space that can enchant and excite as it accommodates. Browse our 11 favourite arty Caribbean hotels, where wandering the property is like taking a gallery tour.

Ladera, St Lucia

This St Lucia boutique resort’s art offerings are largely in the exquisite details: colourful mosaics along the pool and even in the shower and, most importantly, the elaborate wood carvings of on-site master craftsman Boniface Modeste. (Above: a shower floor at a Paradise Ridge suite). Of course, the views of the Pitons (cover photo) are a masterpiece in their own right.
