Garraway Hotel

Downtown Roseau, capitol city of Dominica and a bustling Caribbean business and financial center is home to a very nice, modern Garraway Hotel. For those travelers wanting the "Hilton" or "Holiday Inn" type accommodations wherever they are, this is the place. It is a favorite with business travelers; just a short walk to government and downtown business offices. Spacious rooms, an excellent restaurant, duty-free shopping across the street and a birdseye view of the new pier, make the Garraway a sure winner with seasoned travelers.

Only 10 minutes from Canefield Airport, (the one used by small planes from Guadeloupe and Martinique), and an hour and 15 minutes from Melville Airport, the Garraway is located on the city's bayfront, adjacent to the new cruiseship berth, historic Peebles Park, city museum and the new bayfront promenade.

Guests and local Dominicans appreciate the wonderful local and international cuisine served at the restaurant, adjoining terrace, and "Ole Jetty" bar located on the main street level.The sunset-watching crowd heads for the rooftop terrace to enjoy a favorite tropical libation while the sun sinks into the western sky.
