THE CHRISTOPHER AND CARL GUSTAF<br />
GET FIVE STARS<br />
Classified until now as four-<strong>st</strong>ar<br />
luxury hotels, both the Chri<strong>st</strong>opher<br />
and Carl Gu<strong>st</strong>af have added a fifth<br />
<strong>st</strong>ar. The Collectivity’s executive<br />
committee agreed to the reque<strong>st</strong> by<br />
these two hotels, and awarded their<br />
extra <strong>st</strong>ars during a meeting on<br />
July 6, after receiving a thumbs up<br />
from the territorial tourism commission<br />
on June 15. The Chri<strong>st</strong>opher<br />
and Carl Gu<strong>st</strong>af join Le Toiny<br />
and Isle de France, which received<br />
their fifth <strong>st</strong>ars la<strong>st</strong> March, in the<br />
pantheon of top-rated hotels in<br />
Saint Barthélemy.<br />
The new five-<strong>st</strong>ar rating in Saint-<br />
Barthélemy is the result of the<br />
Novelli law adopted in France in<br />
2009, and amendments made to the<br />
local tourism code. In<strong>st</strong>itutionally,<br />
Carl Gu<strong>st</strong>af Chri<strong>st</strong>opher ©Pierre Carreau<br />
the territorial tourism commission<br />
is in charge of awarded the hotels’<br />
<strong>st</strong>ars. “We are very proud,” enthuses<br />
Marion Fayard, director of the<br />
Carl Gu<strong>st</strong>af. “This fifth <strong>st</strong>ar represented<br />
a huge challenge for us. We<br />
worked very hard to obtain it.” For<br />
Pierre-Alexandre Maillard, manager<br />
of thr Chri<strong>st</strong>opher, “The winning<br />
of this fifth <strong>st</strong>ar is the successful<br />
realization of the major inve<strong>st</strong>ments<br />
made over the pa<strong>st</strong> three<br />
years by the Pitch Promotion<br />
group.” The Pointe Milou hotel<br />
recently renovated all of its rooms,<br />
as well as its two re<strong>st</strong>aurants, the<br />
swimming pool, and pool deck. It<br />
has also added a seaside spa and<br />
fitness room, plus four new suites.<br />
“This fifth <strong>st</strong>ar is also great encouragement<br />
for the <strong>st</strong>aff to continue to<br />
guarantee that the hotel meets with<br />
the success it deserves,” adds<br />
Maillard.

ST BARTH SUMMER SESSIONS:<br />
MUSIC EVERYWHERE!<br />
Once again this year, the association<br />
St Barth Rocks has organized<br />
the St Barth Summer Sessions, an<br />
eclectic <strong>music</strong> fe<strong>st</strong>ival with arti<strong>st</strong>s<br />
from around the world. From<br />
Augu<strong>st</strong> 4-15, the <strong>st</strong>ars on the fe<strong>st</strong>ival<br />
ro<strong>st</strong>er include DJs from the German<br />
collective Jazzanova, as well<br />
as Anduze, Arturo Rodriguez,<br />
David H, Tom Howie, and Jimmy<br />
Vallance (who has a record coming<br />
out on the label, Get Physical), plus<br />
Josh Logan, Ryan Fardy, Adam<br />
Lasher Band, Alex Merrell, Yo-One<br />
Sutter, Eitch from New York, and<br />
representatives of the Brazilian<br />
EITCH<br />
New York singer Eitch (pronounced<br />
H) has a <strong>st</strong>yle evoking that of<br />
Björk: a unique universe that<br />
playfully fuses a hybrid of vocally<br />
driven alternative <strong>music</strong>. Her<br />
album, “Everything, Nothing,”<br />
follows an electro-pop vein with<br />
certain songs that recall popular<br />
Canadian singer Grimes. But<br />
Eitch brings a totally personal<br />
<strong>st</strong>yle to her <strong>music</strong>. A special<br />
treat!<br />
ANDUZE<br />
Originally from the American<br />
Virgin Islands, Anduze is a soul<br />
singer following in the foot<strong>st</strong>eps<br />
of such <strong>st</strong>ars as Marvin Gaye,<br />
Curtis Mayfield, or Otis Redding.<br />
Anduze is accompanied on<br />
scene with Aberto Pra Balanço<br />
and Alvaro Kapaz.<br />
Every night there will be a<br />
concert at La Plage, while<br />
other events are scheduled<br />
at various hotels that are<br />
participating in the St Barth<br />
Summer Sessions: Chri<strong>st</strong>opher<br />
Hotel, Le Sereno, Taiwana,<br />
Isle de France, and<br />
Le Village St Jean, plus<br />
the re<strong>st</strong>aurants Bonito, La<br />
Route des Boucaniers,<br />
L’Esprit, Le Piment, and<br />
La Cantina.<br />
<strong>st</strong>age by a guitar, bass, drums,<br />
and sax. His mo<strong>st</strong> recent album,<br />
Closure, expresses the throes of<br />
a dramatic love affair.<br />
EMILY ELBERT<br />
Steeped in folk <strong>music</strong> that<br />
evokes the open plains of her<br />
native Texas, 23 year-old Emily<br />
Elbert <strong>st</strong>arted singing, compo-<br />
sing, and playing the guitar at<br />
the age of 14. She has performed<br />
around the world, and her late<strong>st</strong><br />
album, “Alive, In Love,” came<br />
out la<strong>st</strong> February.<br />
JAZZANOVA<br />
One of the highlights of the program:<br />
known for their “nu-jazz,”<br />
the German DJs from the elec-<br />
tive collective, Jazzanova, have<br />
spent over 15 years mixing,<br />
remixing, and producing for the<br />
independent labels, Compo<strong>st</strong><br />
Records and Sonar Kollektiv,<br />
with their compelling compositions<br />
shaping the <strong>music</strong>al scene<br />
on an international basis. Not to<br />
be missed!

Now you can turn to the Lil’E<br />
Saint Barth Sailing School to<br />
help meet your needs. “You<br />
can sail alone for your pleasure.<br />
But to participate in a<br />
regatta, you need a real crew.<br />
And often enough, you can be<br />
short a few sailors. Or after the<br />
end of the regatta that you find<br />
out there were people who<br />
would have liked to participate,<br />
but they didn’t let you know,”<br />

any race wins, as well as what<br />
regattas they are intere<strong>st</strong>ed in<br />
and the dates they are available,<br />
from actual races to casual sailing,<br />
and the position they hold,<br />
from helmsman to tactician.<br />
“The program is also open to<br />
beginners,” adds Fox. “If you<br />
are a novice, there is always a<br />
chance to earn your sea legs,”<br />
he notes. To be contacted, candidates<br />
should po<strong>st</strong> their email<br />

For those who have a boat and<br />
