Welcome to Admiral's Inn & Gunpowder Suites - a boutique escape where 18th century heritage meets modern luxury. Offering historic charm, casual elegance, and warm, personal service, our unique hotel sits within Antigua’s UNESCO-listed Nelson’s Dockyard on the island’s south coast.
Step into a story centuries in the making. Restored 18th-century buildings and lush tropical gardens create a setting that blends the past with the ease of Caribbean living.
Nestled on opposite sides of a picturesque bay
The original 18th-century Admiral’s Inn building – home to restaurant Pillars – sits in a quiet corner of Nelson’s Dockyard, while Gunpowder Suites, Boom and the infinity pool rest on a private headland just across the water. Guests enjoy access to both, easily reached by a short walk or a trip in our private boat.
Our 32 rooms and suites are spread across waterfront, garden, and hillside locations – each with its own charm, all designed for comfort and character.
From relaxed poolside lunches to elegant dinners by the water, our two restaurants – Pillars and Boom – serve fresh, locally inspired cuisine in unforgettable settings.
Swim in the infinity pool, take out a kayak from our private beach, or hop aboard the water taxi to nearby Galleon Beach – every moment is yours to enjoy.
From weddings and honeymoons to private dinners and creative retreats, Admiral’s Inn provides a setting where every occasion feels extraordinary.
The Powder Room Spa offers massages, facials, and beauty treatments in a tranquil setting – indoors or outdoors on a private daybed with views of the sea.
Beyond the Dockyard, Antigua offers 365 beaches, lush rainforest trails, world-class sailing, and vibrant island culture. Let us help you uncover it all.
