THE OLD GOVERNMENT HOUSE HOTEL & SPA

Sitting proudly just up the hill from the main shopping street and a five-minute walk from the picturesque St Peter Port quayside, The Old Government House Hotel & Spa offers the perfect welcome in this beautiful, balmy corner of the British Isles.

Looking to the future...

Our sustainability efforts are currently focused on phasing out all single use plastics by 2022, while partnering with Winnow technology to reduce food wastage. The Red Carnation Hotel Collection is part of The Travel Corporation family of brands and works in proud partnership with its TreadRight Foundation to #MakeTravelMatter.

Fill-a-bucket

Help us combat the scourge of ocean plastics. For every beach-bucket of rubbish collected from Umhlanga beach by hotel residents, we offer a complimentary drink in the hotel bar. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for helping us keep our beaches clean.
