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.

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.
