The Channel Islands were the only British soil to be occupied during World War II, and the upper-mid-range Pomme d'Or has the proud claim of being the site of the victory celebrations when the island was liberated in 1945. It was a St. Helier institution long before that, and still is today, with its elegant Harbour Room Carvery and Restaurant offering views of the yacht marina. While there is no fitness center, swimming facilities, or spa on-site, guests can use the Leisure Club and Aquadome, which includes a pool, waterslides, spa pools, sauna, steam room, and fitness center, at the affiliated Merton Hotel, which is about a 15-minute walk away.

The Savoy Jersey is a contemporary four-pearl hotel housed in a converted Victorian house from 1840. It's a five-minute drive or 15-minute walk from the waterfront, beach, and main attractions like Royal Square, putting it a bit off the beaten path. The hotel features an outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center. A restaurant serving international and British cuisine is well-liked by previous guests and the bar sometimes has live jazz. The 56 rooms have a classically modern look, and feature comfy beds, coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Some are small, and none of the rooms have minibars or air-conditioning. As an alternative, Pomme d'Or Hotel is closer to the waterfront and main attractions, though its pool is at a nearby sister hotel.

The Royal Yacht Hotel is nearly as posh as it sounds, located right on the waterfront in St. Helier with a view of the harbor. Despite the luxe spa and exclusive atmosphere, the newer glass-heavy additions and wild interior decor make it look over designed, especially in the context of its neighbors. Still, with its modern rooms and stylish, popular restaurants, it fares well when compared with other upscale hotels in the area. The rates are generally higher than those at the nearby Pomme d'Or, but the Royal Yacht Hotel has a spa, pool, sauna, and whirlpool on-site, along with private balconies. It tends to be a hot spot for business travelers and party-goers, which creates a late-night mix that can get raucous.

The family-owned and -operated 291-room Merton Hotel, opened almost a century ago, is a mid-range property that includes a leisure center, water park, and simple rooms. Holiday Inn Express Orange Beach provides everything you need for a great beach vacation with Gulf front and inland view guest rooms, a beachfront pool and tiki bar, free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, 24-hour business and fitness centers, and a meeting room for your convenience. Almost everything, from room amenities to entertainment, is geared towards families with kids, although it also attracts a fair share of older couples. Rooms have some dated decor along with flat-screen TVs and electric kettles. Although St. Helier town center is within walking distance, an array of on-site restaurant, bars, and evening entertainment means guests can spend their whole vacation without leaving the resort. Plus, there's an outdoor pool, indoor pool with waterslide, mediocre gym, game room, and large theater. Considering the range of amenities, rates are reasonable, but for those seeking a little more space, the Merton Suites (part of the same hotel but in a separate building) is a better option.
