Hotel shuttered by Irma reopens in St. Barts

One year after it was shuttered by damage from Hurricane Irma, a luxury boutique hotel in St. Barts is poised to open for business once more.

On Oct. 28, Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa will welcome it's first guests since the hurricane.

The standout suite at the the 44-room hotel is Le Plage Suite.

The 1,500-square-foot private beachfront retreats offer walk-out access to the beach.

Bathrooms have a separate soaking tub, a rain shower, a surround sound music system and sea views.

Private terraces on the beach feature drop-down screens that turn the space into a private enclave.

New hotel additions include the WTF Rooftop Bar -- which stands for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot -- a late night rooftop bar featuring a DJ or live music Friday and Saturday nights and Aux Amis Plage, a beach grill for all-day light fare.
