Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort on the southwest coast of Dominica is a waterfront hotel that unites luxury and history. The hotel blends the features of a historic fort dating back to 1699 with modern amenities, exclusive dining experiences and expanded dive operations. Located in the small, French-style capital of Roseau, it is ideal as a base for families, couples and those seeking to explore the ‘Nature Island’.
Fort Young Hotel offers 100 rooms and suites that boast contemporary style and design, whilst reflecting the rich history of the property. Many rooms and suites offer stunning ocean views, whilst some face towards the island's lush, mountainous interior. Rooms are split between the original building, and a newly constructed section set just behind.
Due to Fort Young’s location in Roseau, guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options both in and around the hotel. There are plenty of local restaurants to try, whilst the hotel offers an elegant restaurant with panoramic waterfront views where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also a unique cafe which is embedded into the old fort and serves Dominican coffee along with freshly baked pastries - definitely not something to be missed during your stay!
