Located along the Philip Goldson Highway at the northern gateway to Belize City, the Grand Resort & Residences is one of the city’s most talked-about new hotels. Marrying urban convenience with contemporary comfort, this property offers travelers a refreshing new option in a town long known for its historic charm rather than modern accommodations.

Situated near Haulover Bridge, where the Belize River meets the Caribbean Sea, the hotel offers easy access to both the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport and downtown Belize City. Whether traveling for business, taking a brief overnight stay before exploring other areas of the country, or spending a few nights to discover the cultural and culinary aspects of Belize City, the Grand Resort & Residences is a prime location.

Recently opened as part of Belize City’s hospitality renaissance, the property brings a polished, international feel without losing local charm. The hotel features approximately 75 air-conditioned rooms, each designed with a focus on tranquility and rest. The modern décor accommodations include Tempur-Pedic mattresses, blackout drapes, flat-screen TVs, complimentary bottled water, and in-room safes, ensuring both comfort and convenience. Other amenities include free WiFi throughout the hotel, complimentary parking, elevator access, concierge services, and tour assistance for those planning excursions beyond the city. The Grand Resort & Residences also offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues suitable for board meetings, seminars, training sessions, conferences, and social functions.

The hotel’s interior aesthetic leans sleek and modern, with neutral tones accented by tropical wood finishes and dramatic lighting. The Grand Resort & Residences lives up to its name with resort-style amenities. The outdoor pool, situated above the riverbank, features a swim-up bar and a poolside lounge area, providing a welcome oasis for cooling off in the Caribbean heat. Two bars and an on-site restaurant offer a selection of both local and international dishes, allowing guests to dine and unwind without ever leaving the property.

Nearby attractions include the Museum of Belize, the historic Swing Bridge, and water taxis that connect the mainland to Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Day trips from the city are easily arranged to popular destinations, such as the Belize Zoo. Guests can also explore local dining and shopping spots within a short drive.

Whether you’re beginning your Belize adventure, visiting for business, or seeking a relaxing city retreat, the Grand Resort & Residences delivers the essentials of a full-service stay, enhanced by elegance, style, and a touch of tropical flair.

About the Author: Tamara Sniffin

I’m a sucker for a fuzzy face, a feathered face, a face with fins or even one with scales! I am in love with the creatures and the flora that are synonymous with Belize and every opportunity I have to learn more about them and explore their wild habitats I am there! I’m the happiest when I’m snorkeling the reef and swimming with turtles, however my passion is not just limited to critters! Laced throughout this compact jungle gem of a country live the Kriol, Maya, Garifuna, Mestizo and Spanish people, and experiencing each culture, especially their celebrations is one of my favorite pastimes.
