Copper and Lumber Store Historic Inn

English Harbour, Antigua

Set within the historic naval setting of English Harbour Town, the Copper and Lumber Store Hotel is an intimate Antiguan property where colonial heritage and Caribbean character are closely intertwined.

Positioned within one of the island’s most culturally significant areas, the hotel offers a quieter, more atmospheric alternative to beachfront resorts, with a strong sense of place shaped by its surroundings.

Housed within a restored 18th-century building, the architecture reflects its original function as a naval storehouse, with thick stone walls, timber detailing, and a distinctly Georgian influence. The design retains much of its historic fabric, blending preserved structural features with understated modern touches to create a setting that feels both authentic and quietly refined.

Staying

Accommodation includes a mix of suites and studios, each incorporating practical living elements such as kitchenettes, dining areas, and seating spaces. Interiors are straightforward and functional, with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and in-room amenities including coffee machines and cable television. Some rooms offer balconies or sea views, while all maintain a consistent, residential-style layout.

Dining

Dining is centred around the Mainbrace Restaurant & Pub, serving a combination of American, Caribbean, and local cuisine. Menus include a range of classic and regional dishes, with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options available on request, all delivered in a relaxed, informal setting.

Playing
