The Fred – Room Style

Rooms at The Fred sit within renovated historic structures designed to preserve older Frederiksted character while adding modern comforts.

• Historic buildings renovated with contemporary island style
• Good for adults who want a boutique stay rather than a generic hotel room
• Commonly listed comforts include air conditioning, private bathroom, desk, and free WiFi

The Fred is the better pick if room character, beachfront setting, and a small-resort feel matter more than a standard hotel setup.
