S Hotel Montego Bay cops award for excellence from Condé Nast Johansens
Amid Jamaica’s ongoing recovery from the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, there is uplifting news for the nation’s tourism industry.
S Hotel Montego Bay has been awarded Best Hotel for Romance in North, Central, and South America in the 2026 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence, announced this week in London.
The recognition comes at a particularly meaningful time for Jamaica and the S Hotels Jamaica team, who weathered the hurricane with resilience and compassion.
S Hotel Montego Bay remained virtually unscathed during the passage of Melissa and was praised by guests for its exceptional care and safety measures during the storm.
“While we are deeply honored to receive this award, our hearts remain with our fellow Jamaicans who are rebuilding,” said Anne-Marie Goffe-Pryce, general manager of S Hotel Montego Bay.
“This recognition belongs to the people of Jamaica, whose strength and spirit continue to inspire us every day,” added Goffe-Pryce.
Presented annually, the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence highlight the world’s finest hotels, spas, and venues for their consistent commitment to quality, service, and guest satisfaction.
According to Goffe-Pryce, S Hotel Montego Bay’s win underscores Jamaica’s enduring appeal as a destination of romance, wellness, and world-class hospitality.
“As the country restores affected areas and prepares to welcome visitors for the upcoming winter season, S Hotel Montego Bay proudly stands as a symbol of Jamaica’s resilience, warmth, and beauty,” said Goffe-Pryce.
