Selita Ebanks' Favorite Hotels
Selita Ebanks
Supermodel
Discovered by Women Model Management at the age of 17 in an amusement park, Selita Ebanks has quickly risen the ranks to become one of the most sought after and respected models of her generation.
A Native New Yorker of Caymanian, Jamaican, Irish, Indian, and African descent, Selita is a reflection of beauty inside and out. She was raised as the only girl in a household of seven boys. Her father, a New York City Corrections officer captain instilled manners, values, and respect in his children. Her brothers also influenced Selita’s love for athletics; she grew up playing basketball and tennis and remains a sports fanatic to this day.
A gifted and hard-working student, Selita contemplated attending Columbia, Spellman, and New York University, making her decision to pursue a modeling career and postpone her education, a very difficult decision for her and her family.
Selita has graced the covers of Esquire and Hampton Style, been featured in Vanity Fair and was chosen as one of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People in 2007 and featured in Sports Illustrated’s illustrious Swimsuit Issue in 2007 and 2008. While Selita has worked with some of the world’s most noted photographers—including Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, Steven Klein, Carter Smith, Russell James and Mikeal Jansen—and for some of the most quintessential American fashion campaigns (Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch, Levi’s and Tommy Hilfiger), her career aspirations came true when she was chosen to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Now she works with all the best fashion photographers and film directors in the Victoria’s Secret family, joining the ranks of Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen, Adriana Lima and Tyra Banks.
Selita is active in the New York and Cayman Islands communities, and has been a mentor in the Seamen’s Society of Staten Island, working with local schools, churches and community groups to provide individual and family counseling, HIV/AIDS education and prevention, leadership skills, peer support groups and recreation. She has also initiated a mentoring program in the Cayman Islands called the Stardom Youth Foundation providing career guidance for teenagers.

Amanyara
Providenciales, Turks And Caicos Islands
I love this hotel because it's secluded and tranquil; it makes you feel like you’re the only person there.

Hotel Guanahani
St Barthelemy, French West Indies, Guadeloupe
This is one of the most relaxing hotels I’ve ever been to. There’s private pools or Jacuzzis in every suite and as I stay here every Christmas time for Victoria’s Secret photo shoots, it’s become like a second home to me.

The Hollywood Roosevelt
Los Angeles, CA, USA
This hotel is the perfect mix of old Hollywood glamour and new Los Angeles energy. The suites are modern and chic and the bars downstairs are filled with the hottest people.

St Martins Lane Hotel
London, England, UK
Whether I’m in London for work or for pleasure, I like staying at St. Martins Lane because it’s in the middle of everything!
