Enjoy breakfast while surveying the daily arrival of
the cruise ships, or sip a cocktail from the honor
bar as the sunset casts a rosy glow on the old town
of Charlotte Amalie.
The Crystal Palace Bed and Breakfast is located in
Dronningens Quarter in the heart of St. Thomas'
Historic district. She is surrounded by a dozen
other colonial mansions -hearty survivors of the
Golden Age of St. Thomas, when the merchant barons
of the islands built their elaborate homes on
Synagogue Hill.
Old Glory
Look up from Crystal Gade and you'll see this fine
old double-breasted colonial mansion. The Crystal
Palace, the Lockhart family home, was the first home
built on St. Thomas to be fitted with glass sash
windows. Hence, the name of the house, and the
street she so elegantly dominates.
