The Hotel de la Plage, situated on the eastern side of the town, enjoys a splendid position overlooking the beach and faces due South.

All the bedrooms have private bathroom heating, radio, TV and a telephone, and many have balconies. The highest standards are comfort, food and service combine with the atmosphere of modern elegance to provide a memorable holiday for even the most discriminating.

Amenities include lifts to each floor, sun terraces and car parks.

The Portelet Hotel is the hotel for discerning people; it is quietly situated in the country overlooking the magnificent sweep of St. Brelade's Bay. All double, twin or family bedrooms have private bathrooms, many have private balconies and all are equipped with telephone and radio.

Partly rebuilt and entirely modernised in 1970 the amenities of the hotel include a heated swimming pool, tennis court, gardens and ample car parking.

A resident trio plays music for dancing and cabaret is presented weekly throughout the season.

First class cuisine and service are the foundations on which Portelet Hotel has made its reputation and it is our one desire to do everything possible to ensure satisfaction.

Centrally situated near the air and bus terminals, and with a panoramic view of the harbour, the Pomme d'Or Hotel offers accommodation for 270 guests. Many of the bedrooms have private bathrooms; all have radio, telephone and heating. A fire detection and alarm system has recently been installed.

Cabaret, carnival and fancy dress dances are presented during the season for those wishing to participate and the shopping and amusement centres of St. Helier are immediately adjacent.

The situation and amenities, which include stockrooms throughout the year, make the Pomme d’Or an ideal hotel for businessman and holidaymaker alike.

Merton Hotel is Jersey's largest and most popular Hotel. Having been under the same ownership since its foundation over fifty years ago, a reputation for value, courtesy and service second to none has been established.

Progressively modernised as the years have gone by, the latest additions are a superb ballroom, bar, lounge, coffee lounge and snack bar, and further bedrooms with private bathroom. The kitchens and service areas have also been thoroughly modernised.

A well organised, but entirely optional programme of entertainments, the gardens, the swimming pool, sunbathing lawns, the television room, lifts to each floor and ample car parking are some of the amenities that add up to a reasonably priced holiday.

Situated adjacent to the beautiful Howard Davis Park, Merton Hotel is but a short distance from the centre of St. Helier with its shops and amusements.

Acquired by SEYMOURS LTD., Jersey’s largest Hotel Group, in November 1972, LE COlE HOTEL is a large holiday hotel situated in St. Helier. With accommodation for over 500 persons, a special welcome is reserved for children.

Having been built up from the outset in 1946 by the previous proprietor the premises are up to date and include some bedrooms with private bathroom, lifts, TV lounge, ballroom, discothéque, swimming pool and an underground car park amongst its many amenities.

Whilst not luxurious (the Official Grade is'now 3 Diamonds in the Second Register) the Hotel has a fine reputation for inexpensive holidays and simple good food. .

Seymours Ltd. had its origins in a small Jersey Guest House which was opened by Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Seymour in 1919. The Company now possesses some of Jersey's best known hotels and intends at LE COIE HOTEL to continue its policy of offering value for money whilst progressively improving the amenities offered to its customers. A policy which resulted in LE COIE HOTEL being upgraded to 3 Diamonds in 1974.
