Walking into this five-star Relais & Chateaux hotel is like walking into a grand mansion, with a main reception area that can only be described as a tropical gallery; the owner's collection of Haitian art is the biggest outside of Haiti. Sculptures and colorful paintings, among them some painted by Brèsil, hang on the walls in the welcome area of the hotel as well as in the immaculate, "Bali-esque"-decorated rooms named after Caribbean artists and Anguillian beaches. With only nine suites and amenities such as 24-hour butler service, a spa, outdoor yoga, a sparkling infinity pool, a private tennis court and a fitness center, Quintessence, or Q Hotel, is nothing less than extraordinary elegance. Dine at the exquisite Julian's, the on-site French fine dining restaurant or grab lunch at the casual Coral Beach Bar right on the white sands of Long Bay. Dining options here are not limited, with the hotel offering a personalized culinary experiences for every guest; meals prepared by executive chef Dominique Threvenet are served anywhere from the main dining room, or at the chef's table to the beach or in the award-wining Q wine cellar.
