This Historic Resort & Spa Is an Idyllic Escape from Belize’s Largest City - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel
"Located at the mouth of a river on the Caribbean in Belize City, this recently relaunched four-star property blends modern, minimalist design with a colonial heritage dating back to 1953 and a reopening at the beginning of February. The redesign introduces 34 newly renovated Courtyard Deluxe Rooms and Suites—with an additional 110 rooms planned over the next 12 months—and Penthouse Suites that feature a full kitchen, living room and sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea; all rooms emphasize great natural light, natural wood finishes and white ceramic touches. The all-white entrance and soothing neutral palettes throughout the lobby and guestrooms create a calm oasis amid the city’s bustle. On-site amenities include the K’IN Spa, which offers ecosystem-inspired treatments (notably the Seaside Symphony Facial with a high-potency marine mask) plus health-focused food and beverage options, a small plunge pool ideal for cooling off with a cocktail, a fitness center, a full-service restaurant-bar-lounge called The Treehouse serving breakfast, lunch and tapas-style dinners focused on freshly caught seafood and locally sourced ingredients (with in-room dining available), and an on-site marina that facilitates maritime adventures and personalized tours. With a sleek, sexy, modern vibe and knowledgeable staff providing farm-to-table dining recommendations and excursion planning, the property serves as a stylish jumping-off point for exploring nearby attractions; rooms start around $230/night."
