Radisson Hotel Trinidad is an international-brand hotel in Port of Spain, a natural choice for travelers who want familiar standards and full service in the capital. Trinidad is a country of strong contrasts, from the rainforest and birdlife of the north to the oil-rich south and the energy of Carnival, and a well-equipped hotel in the city is a convenient place to rest between excursions. This page is a general guide rather than a full inventory: rooms, restaurants, the pool and meeting facilities can change, so check when you book and compare room categories carefully.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Port of Spain, on Trinidad’s northwest coast, and the airport is a drive away. Check when you book how long the airport transfer takes at your arrival hour, because traffic into the capital can be heavy at peak times, and ask whether the hotel runs a shuttle.
Within the city, taxis are the usual way to get around, and the hotel can help arrange a driver for day trips to Maracas Bay, the Caroni Bird Sanctuary, Asa Wright Nature Centre or the Pitch Lake. Queen’s Park Savannah and Fort George are the best-known city sights.
The rooms and the feel
An international-brand hotel in a capital city typically offers a polished, business-friendly atmosphere with consistent room standards, meeting space and several places to eat and drink. Check when you book which room types and floors are available, whether views of the water or hills are offered and whether breakfast is included. Clubs, executive floors and suites may be offered, so compare benefits before paying extra.
Food, drink and extras
Trinidad’s food scene is one of the Caribbean’s richest, with Indian, African, Chinese and Creole influences. Ask the hotel about its restaurants and bars, opening hours and dress codes, and about a pool, gym or spa. In the evenings, many guests take a taxi to Ariapita Avenue or other dining areas, and the concierge can advise on safe, current options. Carnival season is intense, so check the dates for parades and parties, and be aware that rates and minimum stays rise.
Planning day trips
From the capital, a morning at the Caroni Bird Sanctuary to see scarlet ibis roosting at dusk, a day at the Asa Wright Nature Centre for hummingbirds and forest birds, and a beach day at Maracas Bay can all be done with a driver or a tour. Guided tours often include hotel pickup, so confirm that when you book.
Good to know
The tropical climate means heat and humidity, with showers in the wetter season, so pack light clothing and a rain layer. Check cancellation terms and the policy on deposits, and confirm whether taxes or service charges are added to the quoted rate.
Best for
Business and conference travelers, families who value a reliable brand and facilities, event visitors and first-time travelers who want a comfortable base in Port of Spain.
