St Helier Harbour's Historic Gem Revived
22 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Historic harbour site to be transformed into a vibrant destination.
- Plans include restoring buildings and creating new public spaces.
- A 160-room hotel overlooking the water is part of the vision.
Ports of Jersey is inviting developers to reimagine one of St Helier's historic harbour locations, aiming to create a new destination. The project includes the restoration of La Folie and South Pier House, the development of fresh public spaces, and the construction of a 160-room hotel with waterfront views.
The historic site has been inaccessible to the public for many years, and its structures have deteriorated. This revitalization effort is designed to preserve the unique character of the harbour while simultaneously stimulating Jersey's tourism sector.
Ports of Jersey CEO Matt Thomas highlighted the significance of this Request for Information, stating it marks a crucial step for the harbour's future. The redevelopment promises to blend historical preservation with modern amenities, boosting visitor appeal.
