Fort George Hotel & Spa

$$$ | 2 Marine Parade, Belize City, Belize Fodor's Choice

After an extensive remodeling, the former Radisson has gone from worn chain to independent hotel and once again claims its spot as the city's top accommodation, complete with panoramic views of the sea from its more expensive rooms. Dominating the historic Fort George district, the large international-style hotel's best rooms are in the modern glass-fronted six-story tower with sea views. Dining options include the Tree House, which bustles in the morning and becomes more subdued as the day progresses. Opt for drinks and appetizers at the SeaViche Bar, or pastries at Le Petit Café. Unwind with a full range of spa treatments. Remodeling continues at this writing but is not inconvenient or obtrusive if you stay here. The Fort George is a popular first-night, last-night choice before heading out to the hinterlands. Reservations are always advised. 

Pros

  • Belize City's best large hotel
  • Waterfront location in historic Fort George area
  • U.S.-style lodging with Belizean touches and decor

Cons

  • A few rooms are small, yet good value
  • Can be very busy during Dec.--Apr. high season

The Great House

$$$ | 13 Cork St., Belize City, Belize

Among Fort George's most appealing sights is the colonial facade of this large wooden 1927 house, converted into a fine inn. Every room is different. The large rooms have polished antique-pine floors, with modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi. However, you'll have to climb some stairs to get to your room, as there is no elevator. Tiers of wraparound verandas allow you to relax while taking in the sea breeze. A light continental breakfast is included in the room rate. All rooms are nonsmoking.

Pros

  • Lovely old inn
  • Good location in Fort George area
  • Friendly staff

Cons

  • Rooms are all upstairs on second and third floors with no elevator
  • A few rooms get limited light
  • Rooms 1--3 are directly off lobby
