Hotel Review
The Royal Yacht, St Helier, Jersey
You'll find yourself at the centre of the nightlife in this cosmopolitan four-star hotel in the heart of Jersey's capital, St Helier, with a choice of three restaurants, and a nightclub that hosts international DJs for dancing into the small hours. Rooms are modelled on those in a luxury yacht, with plenty of wood and glass and super king size beds. A small subterranean spa has an adults-only swimming pool and a few treatment rooms for massages with Jersey products such as lavender. The shops of King Street are about a 10-minute walk away and the marina is just across the road. Also nearby is the waterfront with its leisure complex, cinema and international chain restaurants.
