Eden Rock—St Barths, a renowned luxury hotel, can trace its roots back to the 1940s when aviator Rémy de Haenen stumbled upon a breathtaking promontory on Saint-Barthélemy. By 1953, it had transformed into the world's most exclusive bed-and-breakfast, heralding an era of unparalleled luxury, exquisite gastronomy, and holistic well-being. The resort exudes an atmosphere of carefree enjoyment, from the vibrant Rémy Bar to the secluded Rockstar Villa, all meticulously designed to provide an intimate Caribbean escape. In celebration of Eden Rock's 70th anniversary, Assouline presents a book featuring exclusive archival images that offer a tantalizing glimpse of the island's natural beauty. This book is narrated by St Barths expert Vassi Chamberlain and enriched with insights from both guests and locals alike.
