Today, an extensive renovation of the original house is underway by the same family who captured the site 60 years ago and named their first house Hillside Cottage.
Introducing the all new Hillside House on Round Hill!
This new jewel will crown the top of legendary Round Hill. The site has always been a show-stopper, unrivaled in its views and trade winds.

For six decades, Round Hill has been the destination of choice for princesses, presidents and rock stars. Privately tucked into the east side of the hill, away and apart from all others, this extraordinary location is literally minutes from the amenities of the famous resort and less than half an hour from the international airport and Montego Bay.
A new Great Room will open wide to the piece-de-resistance, a broad furnished verandah overlooking an incredible ten-mile stretch of sea all the way to the distant view of the town of Montego Bay. Each night the lights of Montego Bay dance across the water, forming magic at this prize location. Candlelight dinners and after-dinner drinks on the verandah tempt guests to linger long to memorize the mesmerizing view and the joy of sea breezes before retiring to their individual suites.
Accommodations
All five bedrooms will provide state-of-the-art remote-control quiet air-conditioning, ceiling fans, cable televisions and en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Four bedrooms will have their own outdoor sitting areas and spectacular views of the Bay and city lights of the town of Montego Bay across the water. The fifth bedroom opens to a private tropical garden with views through towering Pimento and Breadfruit trees to the sea beyond.
