S Hotel Kingston
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel in our Kingston sample and a 5-star base in New Kingston for only about €34 to €45 a night more than our other picks. Skip it if a large, spotless pool is central to your trip, since guests report maintenance issues and a small size.

This is our Luxury pick for Kingston, a 5-star hotel on Saint Lucia Avenue in New Kingston. It suits business travellers, couples and families (family rooms are listed) who want a spa, gym, restaurant and pool, plus a well-reviewed breakfast. Free parking makes it practical if you are driving.
People who plan to spend long afternoons by the pool may be disappointed, according to guest comments. If Wi-Fi matters for work, note that free Wi-Fi is not among the listed facilities in our data, so check before you book.
Location and getting around
The address is 1 Saint Lucia Avenue in New Kingston, and the location score is 9.1. Independence Park is 1.5 km away, about 19 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate.
Arnett Gardens F.C. is 2.7 km away, about 34 minutes, and Sabina Park is 3.4 km, about 43 minutes. Both are far on foot, so plan on public transport or a taxi. Free parking is listed if you have a car. Walking routes have not been verified, so ask the hotel for advice on getting around.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 679 reviews, joint first of the 7 hotels we compared. Breakfast is a highlight: guests describe a delicious buffet with a wide variety of fresh Jamaican and American options.
Staff are also praised as friendly and professional, with efficient, welcoming service. The pool is the weak spot. Guests like the rooftop and main areas, but some report maintenance issues and find the pool small. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.
