  Hotel of the Month June 2023 S Hotel, Montego Bay, Jamaica Quintessentially Jamaican, S Hotel blends the country’s soul and culture to create an oasis of urban sophistication and a laid-back resort lifestyle in the island’s most sought after destination of Montego Bay.   Whats the Vibe… The contemporary 120-room property artfully combines discrete urban sophistication and a laid-back resort lifestyle with an underlying rootsy vibe. Founded by Crissa Hotels, the hotel offers guests an authentic Jamaican lifestyle experience, interweaving local island food, music, art and entertainment into every facet of a guest’s stay. The backstory…. “I tell people when defining the brand that at one end you have the Ritz and then the W and then you have the S. We are trying to be more W than the Ritz. Jamaica is an understated country, and we are able to give off this vibe. We are a small boutique hotel. With millennials and Gen Z taking up a larger share of the market, they welcome luxury boutique brands like S Hotels over large hotel chains. People have stepped away from the gentlemen’s club. You want to go into the hotel where the receptionist greets you by name. First impressions count. At the S you get personalised service right down to getting the WhatsApp numbers of the managers and you have a go-to person as a friend, rather than a butler. You can walk out of the hotel onto the strip and engage with Jamaicans. We are unique in being able to offer these experiences. ” Mr Chris Issa, Founder of Crissa Hotels Jamaican flair runs throughout the hotel. S Hotel believes everybody has a little bit of Jamaican in them and that guests should connect with the island culture and enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. Outside the hotel are classic cars from the starlet era including one similar to the car driven by Audrey Hepburn when she visited Jamaica in 1953 and a Land Rover similar to the one owned by music legend Bob Marley.  What’s the Location….
