The Lone Star is an exclusive boutique hotel, restaurant and bar, where British owner, Christian Roberts, has created an atmosphere of tropical relaxation.
Four air-conditioned suites, with shady terraces, overlook the dazzling white sandy beach and the Caribbean sea. The suites are decorated in cool, contemporary style, a collaboration of Italian soft pieces and local Bajan mahogany furniture. Reflecting the Lone Star's history, each suite is named in honour of an automobile legend: Cord, Studebaker, Lincoln and Buick. All rooms have enormous comfortable beds, the bathrooms are punctuated with Philippe Starck fittings, white fluffy towels, robes and fragrant products.
Constructed in the 1940's, the Lone Star was originally a garage owned by car-enthusiast Romy Reid. At the time, it was the only garage on Barbados' west coast licensed to sell petrol. Reid's work-shop still exists, forming part of the reception area of the Lone Star restaurant.
The sea is steps from your room and a wide range of watersports are a short distance away. The hotel staff can arrange golf, tennis, or other activities.
The adjacent Beach House is a four bedroom, coral stone villa that can be taken as a whole or as individual suites. Its chic Caribbean style is in direct contrast to the minimalist interiors of the guest rooms. The villa has a large sundeck with comfortable sun loungers and direct access to the beach through a private garden. There is an interesting collection of paintings and antiques from owner Christian Roberts' personal collection.
