Conceived by local designers, the 40 rooms at this whimsical design hotel fall into four categories, each named after a different rum and ranging from small to 'large plus' – the Black Rums category. Blonde wood, capsule espresso machines and a cream-and-charcoal colour scheme are present throughout. The enclosed rooftop restaurant and bar called Toprum (get it?) is great for chilling out.
