Five Star Food & Facilities
In A Five Star Location

The Old Government House Hotel & Spa, affectionately known as the OGH, has served as a hotel for over 160 years. Originally built in 1796, it was the official residence of the Governor of the Bailiwick of Guernsey until 1842 and became a hotel in 1858. Though it has undergone numerous extensions and updates, the building has retained its distinctive charm.

In 2008, Red Carnation Hotels, the current owners, carried out a major yet respectful refurbishment to mark the hotel's 150th anniversary. Today, the OGH blends timeless architecture with modern luxury, offering elegantly appointed interiors and a host of amenities for guests seeking top-tier accommodation, exceptional dining, fine wines, or an elegant setting for events and special celebrations.

The Brasserie Restaurant offers a serene dining experience, overlooking tranquil private gardens with picturesque views of St Peter Port harbour.

Complement your meal with a selection from our extensive wine list, thoughtfully recommended by our knowledgeable staff.

The Crown Club is set within the historic 18th-century Old Crown Offices adjoining the hotel, and is the ideal setting to socialise with friends or colleagues over a light hot or cold meal accompanied by your favourite drinks. Savour our exceptional selection of premium spirits, wines, and expertly crafted cocktails whilst you unwind in the stylish bar, our orangery-style conservatory, or on the heated terraces, where ambient fountain lighting enhances the stunning views of the harbour.

The Curry Room serves authentic Indian cuisine in a warm and inviting setting, open for both lunch and dinner. Complement your meal with a carefully curated selection of wines from around the world or enjoy a refreshing, traditional Indian Kingfisher beer—all while dining in what is proudly regarded as Guernsey’s finest Indian restaurant.

The Olive Grove is the only restaurant in the heart of St Peter Port with its own private garden, offering the perfect setting for al fresco dining while enjoying views of the harbour and Castle Cornet. Whether you're starting the day with breakfast, indulging in afternoon tea, or unwinding with early evening cocktails, it's an ideal spot to relax and take in the surroundings.

The Centenary Bar, adjoining The Brasserie Restaurant and with direct access to The Olive Grove, offers a relaxed and informal setting for both in-house guests and non-residents to unwind. Enjoy our fine selection of malt whiskies, gins, vodkas, and locally crafted favourites such as Breda lager and Rocquettes Cider—or let our bar manager create a bespoke cocktail just for you. Afternoon teas and drinks can also be enjoyed in the elegant Sir John Coward Lounge.
