Hostellerie du Roi Christophe
by Catherine LaineAugust 26th, 2006
We all went to the Hostellerie de Roi Christophe after the training ended today. We’ve been going pretty much nonstop for several days now and some R&R was in order.
The Hostellerie is one of those beautiful old colonial hotels that you see all the time in the developing world. Full of “Old World Charm” and all that. We came for beer (Prestige), ambiance and the turquoise water of the swimming pool. It is so warm and welcoming. They also, quite sensibly, have generators to deal with the intermittent power supply. Upon leaving, we learned that they have satellite internet and wireless.
We will be back. Oh yes, we will be back.
If you are ever in Cap, it costs $65-$75 a night.
Bill tells us that the last time he was in Haiti (around May or June 2005), the owner of the hotel had just been killed by gunmen in Port-au-Prince. Now his son runs it.
