Caribbean Hotel of the Year: Round Hill, Jamaica As we’ve said in these pages before, the word “luxury” has a unique identity in the Caribbean — it requires an extra level of authenticity, of personality, an even greater emphasis on the natural environment and the local community. No hotel in the Caribbean better exemplifies the idea of Caribbean luxury than Jamaica’s Round HIll, a truly magical property just outside Montego Bay that expertly blends impeccable service, inspired design (part-owner Ralph Lauren designed the guest rooms), ultra-local cuisine and, most importantly, a soul.
