Strawberry Hill gleaned its name from the favorite crop of its original owner, who was given the estate by the British Royal Family in 1780. Generations of prominent families added to its legacy, welcoming high society and rock 'n' roll royalty to its peaceful grounds. Jamaican architect Ann Hodges turned Strawberry Hill into what it is today, a collection of white wood-framed cottages and villas, each with a distinctive style that preserves its history and reflects the culture of local artisans.

Strawberry Hill is truly a beautiful place to stay. I spent three nights there with my sister. The scenery and views are stunning. The rooms are basic but nice and clean. We stayed in a cottage studio. There is a mosquitoe net that covers your bed for the nights and all windows are netted. There are quite a few steps to get to the studios and getting around the property, so if you walk with an aid, you will encounter problems . Each day bottles of water, a box of milk and herbal teabags are left for you. The continental breakfast is adequate, fruits, porridge or eggs, pastries and a glass of juice. The staff are friendly and enhance your stay. My only complaint would be that I asked the female who attendeded the bar, for a rum and coke I specifically asked if the rum was Wray and Nephew white rum. She said yes. It was not, and on providing the bill she had tried to charge me for a Chris Blackwell rum, further confirmation that it was not the rum I had asked for. I later on asked the male bartender if they had any Wray and Nephew white rum and he said no. I dont like that if you dont have what drink I have asked for just say so. All that being said I would definitely stay at the Strawberry Hill Hotel again and again.

What a beautiful place! We loved the location and the history. The views here are spectacular! Looking down over Kingston from the infinity pool and restaurant. And the stunning Blue Mountains from our room. The spa is gorgeous. You should definitely make time for a treatment if you can. It's very tranquil, and the service was very professional. The food is delicious. The restaurant service could be a little slow, even when it wasn't busy. It wasn't an issue, we weren't in a rush. The bar service was excellent. A great stay and I would reccomend.

Gorgeous clean rooms, spectacular views, friendly staff, tasty food & drink - what more could you ask for! Our stay at Strawberry Hill may have been just off-season, as we felt we almost had the place to ourselves. Book a couple of nights for a treat, you won't regret it.

Strawberry Hill has a spectacular setting and great charm that is ruined by the many, many daytrippers who crowd the restaurant and bar, monopolize the pool loungers, wander into private spaces of the cottages, and pose for Instagram everywhere. What should be a peaceful idyll feels like a social media circus. The hotel needs to decide if it still cares about overnight guests. Otherwise, it should be converted into a day club. Perhaps that’s what the new owners will do, since Chris Blackwell is selling the hotel.
