Hotel Roi Christophe is a quaint hotel in Cap Haitien, not far from the main road people call Buccaneer (Blvd du Cap-Haitian on the map). It is in a colonial-era building which gives you a close-up experience with the history of Haiti. The rooms are comfortable, with ceiling fan, tv, mini-fridge, and hot water. Complimentary breakfast comes with the stay: eggs, oatmeal, or Haitian spaghetti, with fruit, rolls, and coffee. The restaurant also serves lunch and breakfast. There is a pool, conference rooms, and nice gift shop. Also a ticket counter for Sunrise Airline.
The best part of the hotel for me is all the trees and plants in the courtyard. Yellow-crowned night herons nest here! Plus woodpeckers, banaquits, and palmchat. The endangered white-necked crows and plain pigeons also visit! Unique statues and iron-work, and some canons decorate the grounds.
The hotel is within walking distance (<10 min.) from several restaurants and a tourist souvenir area next to the water. Lots of typical Haitian arts and crafts, but also some unique items, like paper mache birds. Some people are pushy about getting you to buy something, but for the most part it is easy to say no and walk away.
