Dominica's finest heritage hotel offers a unique combination of luxury, discovery and history for pleasure seekers, affording guests unmatched proximity to the Nature Island’s vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, exhilarating activities and some of the island’s most prized attractions.
Built to protect the island, Fort Young Hotel has always commanded a position like no other. Located in Roseau, Dominica’s capital and only “downtown,” it sits in the main marina with the ferry port and market just a minute’s walk from its entrance.
From your room’s balcony, the sights and sounds of the capital vanish, replaced by the gentle lapping of waves and endless expanse of the sea and sky.
