A storied hideaway perched on the iconic rock in sunny St Barths. In 1950, Rémy de Haenen purchases the rocky promontory and builds a hotel upon it, gambling on the island’s potential as a dream destination. David and Jane Matthews and family purchase the property in 1995 from Rémy De Haenen and restore the buildings, constructing new additions and designing enhanced amenities that preserve De Haenen’s eccentric taste and zest for life. In 2014, the Matthews family partners with Oetker Hotels to manage Eden Rock – St Barths. After an extensive, two-year rebuild following Hurricane Irma, the hotel reopens in 2019 to extraordinary fanfare.
