In the 60's a British BWIA pilot, Peter Deeth, flew from New York to Antigua. His route took him over an immaculate corner of the island right next to the historic harbor of Nelson’s Dockyard. This very journey established the history of The Inn, described from the pilot himself as “an intuition from the sky followed by another from the sea”. He fell in love with this corner of paradise and decided that once retired, he would buy the land and build a hotel. Thus the first reality of The Inn was executed from this embedded desire, and throughout the hotels’ initial years it became an important destination particularly to British holiday makers.  
Some twenty years later during a cruise aboard the family motor yacht Xenia & Faye, Enzo and Susanna Addari anchored in Freeman’s Bay directly in front of The Inn. They too were struck by the charm of the place, and in the late 90s decided to buy it themselves. Here a new Inn at English Harbor immersed. With great diligence and an immaculate attention to detail, both the interior and exterior were redesigned by Susanna Salvia Addari and transformed into a five-star resort. In 2000 The Inn underwent a total renovation including an extension of property in 2008. With all of these refinements and renovations The Inn became one of the most exclusive and prestigious five star resorts on the island of Antigua.  
The traditional colonial style decor, much loved by guests over the years, has been gradually enriched by the addition of objects d’arts that the owners have brought from China, Bali, the Middle East and Africa. All of these culturally varying accentuations are tastefully mixed to a dominant flavor of Italian style.
