Where to stay in Saint Georges — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks

Saint George's is the capital of Grenada, the Caribbean's Spice Island. The city curls around a horseshoe-shaped harbour called The Carenage, with pastel houses climbing the hillsides and the old Fort George standing guard on the ridge above. The scent of nutmeg drifts from the spice market in the town centre. Widely called the prettiest port town in the Caribbean, it is compact enough to explore on foot in a day, yet its easy island warmth makes you want to stay a week.

Why stay in Saint Georges

📸

The Caribbean's prettiest harbour

Pastel buildings stack up the hills around the horseshoe Carenage. The view from Fort George looks like a postcard from every angle.

🌶️

A genuine Spice Island

Grenada is one of the world's biggest nutmeg producers. The town market is heady with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and freshly grated nutmeg.

🤿

World's first underwater sculpture park

Off Molinere Bay, 75-plus submerged sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor have become a living reef you can snorkel, dive or view by glass-bottom boat.

🥥

Bold, honest island cooking

Dig into oil down, the national one-pot stew, plus callaloo, conch and the island's famous nutmeg ice cream you won't easily find elsewhere.

    Oil Down

    Grenada's national one-pot stew of breadfruit, coconut milk, salted meat, callaloo and spices, simmered until the coconut oil sinks to the bottom of the pot, which gives the dish its name.

    📍 National dish, one-pot
  2. 2🐚

    The island cocktail, made by the rhyme 'one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak' and dusted with nutmeg. Try the potent pours from River Antoine, distilling since 1785.

  1. 1🏰

    Fort George

    The town's oldest fort, begun by the French in 1706. Set on the ridge with sweeping views over the harbour, town and open sea, it's the best spot for that horseshoe-bay photo.

    📍 Historic fort, viewpoint
  2. 2

    The promenade hugging the inner harbour. Its name comes from the French for 'safe anchorage', and it's lined with colonial-era buildings, seafood restaurants and cafés.

🚆 Getting around Saint Georges

✈️

Maurice Bishop Airport (GND)

The island's only international airport, about 15-20 minutes from Saint George's by taxi. Fixed-rate taxis and rental cars wait in the ground transportation area.

🚐

Reggae Buses

Colourful local minibuses blasting music run fixed routes for around EC$2.50-8 (US$1-3). Pay as you get off, and tap the window or roof to signal your stop.

🚕

Taxis

Easy to find at the cruise port, Grand Anse and in town. Fares are generally fixed by distance, so agree the price before you set off, especially after buses stop at night.

🚶

Walking the town

Central Saint George's is small enough to cover the harbour, fort, market and museum on foot in a day. Expect some steep hills, so wear good shoes.

💵

East Caribbean Dollar

Grenada uses the East Caribbean dollar (EC$), pegged at EC$2.70 to US$1 since 1976. Larger places accept US dollars but give change in EC$. English is the official language.
