Hotel in Apia (Upolu)
Aggie Grey's Hotel
In any conversation about travel in the South Pacific, sooner or later someone is bound to ask, "Have you stayed at Aggie's?" Aggie Grey's Hotel has become a legend in the Pacific, renowned as a meeting place for visitors who enjoy a taste of the real Samoa. Film stars like Gary Cooper, William Holden, Marlon Brando, Royal Families as well as your average tourist have stayed at the hotel, and all have been treated like royalty and made to feel like stars. The hotel was founded in 1933 by the late Aggie Grey, daughter of Scottish chemist William Swan, and Pele, his Samoan wife. The original hotel was a wooden building that had been the International Hotel which became a renowned club for American servicemen stationed in Samoa during WW2. In about 1900 it was dismantled and rebuilt on its present site overlooking Apia Harbour. In 1987 it was again demolished, but this time to be expanded and updated into the new building which now houses reception, accommodation, a fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar. Legend of the South Seas... Aggie's choice of accommodation styles includes 156 rooms, two suites with harbour views and 26 island style bungalows decorated with intricate woven interiors and true South Seas ambience. Each has a refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities, direct-dial telephone and ironing facilities. Same day laundry and dry cleaning, 24 hour concierge, valet and room service, childcare, hairdresser, hotel gift and duty free shops, secretarial service and conference and meeting facilities are all available. The hotel has three cocktail bars, where it is almost obligatory to sample a Bloody Mary, and the Marlon Brando coffee lounge. À la carte gourmet dining is offered at Le Tamarina Restaurant. Aggie's Fale Restaurant, which is also licensed, is by the swimming pool and surrounded by a tropical garden. A highlight of any stay is the weekly Fia Fia night (entertainment including a Samoan feast) and a guitar group serenades guests every night.

A meal plan offers three meals a day at very reasonable prices and picnic lunches are prepared for guests planning day trips. The hotel's tour service can arrange activities such as helicopter sightseeing, watersports on Apia Harbour, diving courses, airport transfers, cultural demonstrations of umu (Samoan oven) making, mat weaving and Samoan dancing, trekking and more. Palolo Deep Marine Reserve is a five minute walk along the harbour front. Aggie's is a boutique family run international hotel with a unique history, one of the last of its kind and a stay here is a truly memorable experience. In a class of its own, the atmosphere is informal and Alan Grey (Aggie's son), his wife Marina and daughter Tanya carry on the traditions started by the late Aggie to ensure that the 300 staff and guests all feel part of the extended Grey family. So when it comes time to go, it is difficult to leave the genuine hospitality, traditional service and friendly atmosphere behind.
