Belize City is better known as a business center and a stop en route to Belize’s lush rural destinations, but Fort George Hotel & Spa promises to change things up and reframe the nation’s capital as a destination in its own right. Located in the city’s Fort George neighborhood, the hotel debuted as the first luxury hotel in Belize City, boasting sophisticated design, elevated culinary offerings, expansive guestrooms and an inspiring wellness program. The hotel also features a branded fitness center, plunge pool and K’IN Spa.

The location, a 30-minute drive from the airport (BZE), is perfectly located for exploring Belize City and downtown attractions such as the waterfront and a local artisan market. There is also easy access to activities such as walking tours of Mayan ruins like Altun Ha; or a diving tour of the Belize Barrier Reef, the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
While Fort George Hotel & Spa today has décor, appointments and amenities that establish it as a wholly modern accommodation, the building dates back to 1953. The reinvention and opening marks the first step in the redevelopment of this historic hotel and, by extension, the neighborhood, with more enhancements to be unveiled later in 2024. When the refurbishment is completed, the hotel will include an additional 110 rooms. The 34 Courtyard Deluxe rooms and suites currently available are rendered in a contemporary design concept integrating natural woods and a light color palette throughout. Furnishings and in-room amenities are designed for comfort and convenience. The top-tier penthouse suites feature full kitchens and living rooms with views of the Caribbean Sea.

The Treehouse, the property’s full-service restaurant, bar and lounge, offers food and drink menus that merge bold international flavors and local tastes crafted with fresh, organic ingredients. A creative tapas menu features healthy options such as fresh-caught seafood and all-natural juices and smoothies named after local hot spots like Blue Hole and Caye Caulker. Three distinctive private dining spaces are available, including an intimate, glass-enclosed private dining room for 12 guests; main dining room with seating for 20; and an indoor lounge where towering trees create an ambiance reminiscent of a whimsical treehouse for 30 guests. The Treehouse serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

K’IN Spa has its own menu of head-to-toe spa experiences including facials, body polishes, wraps, massages and nail services, as well as a health-focused snack and drink menu tailored to meet wellness needs. Signature treatments inspired by the surrounding local terrain include the Seaside Symphony Facial and the Revitalizing Sea and Sun Recovery Body Wrap. Indulgent two- to three-hour experiences, such as the Fort George Serenity that includes the Serene Flow Massage, Seaside Symphony Facial and Exfoliating Coco-Coastal Wrap, provide an unforgettable spa experience combining the most popular experiences, services and treatments.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.

Oct 21, 2026Review: Bodysgallen Hall
The National Trust owns more than 500 historic buildings across the United Kingdom, each offering a vivid sense of its particular era. In common with many visitors, I often find myself wondering what it would be like to actually live in such a place. Imagine sitting, for instance, in one of those ancient oak-paneled drawing rooms at night, with the fire roaring and the wind rattling the ancient mullioned windows. I didn’t have to imagine it. Here I was, immersed in history in 17th-century Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales.

No matter your age, we’ve all ventured to an amusement park at one point or another. Whether taking a trip solely to visit a theme park and ride rollercoasters or tacking on an extra day of a trip to enjoy some thrills at a nearby park, it’s nearly impossible to not enter an amusement park. But even the most adrenaline-seeking travelers are starting to pause after the Oct. 12 incident in which 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem fell to his death while riding Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a theme park outside of Atlanta.
