The Story of Beresford House:A St Helier Landmark, Reimagined

Dining Room

A historic Victorian building in the heart of Jersey’s capital, brought to life with dining, drinks and boutique accommodation.

Some buildings are more than bricks and mortar. They hold stories, reflect the character of a place and continue to evolve with the people who pass through their doors.

At 8 Beresford Street, in the heart of St Helier’s Old Town, Beresford House is one such building. With its roots in the Victorian era, this historic address has entered a new chapter as a destination for dining, drinks, celebrations and overnight stays.

A building with a past

Dating back to 1894, Beresford House is a striking reminder of St Helier’s architectural heritage. The building was once home to a grand Victorian gentlemen’s club, a setting associated with the traditions and social life of its time.

Today, that sense of character remains central to the building’s identity. Its historic setting provides a distinctive backdrop for contemporary hospitality, bringing together the charm of the past and the comforts expected by today’s guests.

One house, many experiences

Beresford House has been reimagined as a collection of complementary experiences, each with its own character.

The Dining Room takes inspiration from the grand brasseries of the Côte d’Azur, bringing a sense of occasion to brunch, lunch, dinner and cocktails.

The Conservatory offers a lighter, more relaxed atmosphere beneath its glass ceiling, with greenery and natural light creating a welcoming setting for everything from a leisurely brunch to evening drinks.

The Old Vic Free House brings another side of hospitality to the building: a characterful pub where guests can meet for a pint, enjoy classic pub favourites or settle in for cocktails and conversation.

For those wishing to stay a little longer, four individually designed boutique bedrooms offer a comfortable retreat above the bustle of the Old Town.

Rooted in St Helier

Location is part of what makes Beresford House special. Set on Beresford Street, just moments from Jersey’s Central Market and the town’s shopping streets, it offers a natural starting point for discovering the island’s capital.

Spend the day exploring historic landmarks, independent shops and the waterfront before returning for dinner, drinks or a restful night in one of our bedrooms.

Whether you are visiting for a special occasion, meeting friends for a casual drink or planning a weekend in Jersey, Beresford House brings a variety of experiences together under one roof.

A new chapter in a historic setting

The story of Beresford House is one of reinvention: respecting the character of a historic building while giving it a new purpose in modern St Helier.

From the first coffee of the morning to a leisurely dinner, a lively evening at the pub or a night away in the heart of town, we invite you to discover the house for yourself.

One house. Many experiences. A place to make your own memories.
