Captain Cook Hotel Kiritimati
Kiribati
The former Captain Cook Hotel now operates as Christmas Island Hotel, a beachfront property in Kiritimati's Maincamp area. The operator has renovated the island's first hotel, retaining an oceanfront setting that connects accommodation with the surrounding beach and the island's fishing waters. Rooms provide air conditioning and Wi-Fi, with airport transfers available. A restaurant and bar give guests places to eat and spend the evening at the property. Kiritimati's appeal centres on its saltwater fishing, birdlife and open coastal landscape; the hotel's position at Maincamp places that environment close to the rooms. Its history also links it to the earlier British military camp on the island.
