Guests get the convenience of hotel services and the ambience of a villa at Fort Printers, on a corner in the former Dutch barracks. The eighteenth-century mansion turned printing facility now houses five stylish, antiques-filled suites—four linked via a second-story walkway, common in colonial buildings of the era; the fifth, poolside. The jackwood floors, copper-lined rain showers, and extra-long lap pool are generating a buzz among design-savvy visitors. If asked, the hardworking staff will take you for a spin in the hotel's 1945 Morris Minor.
When to go: The sun shines year-round here, but December through February are the busiest months.
Which room to book: The Headmaster Suite, for charming water views (doubles, $100–$125).
