The Pasanggrahan (which means 'guesthouse' in Indonesian) Royal Guest House is St. Maarten's oldest and most charming inn. Formerly the Governor's home, a V.I.P. guest house, and Dutch royal residence, it is ideally located in Philipsburg on a white sand beach amidst enchanting tropical gardens. Secluded and offbeat near the heart of St. Maarten's capital, it is yet only a minute's stroll to shops, restaurants, casinos, watersports and other activities.

This authentic, colonial style inn has all the special features of a larger hotel including 30 rooms, personal service, the Sidney Greenstreet Bar, seaside dining, manager's cocktails, complementary chaise lounges, beach towels, and afternoon tea. "A special place for special people".
