Georgetown, the “Garden City of the Caribbean”, sits where the Demerara River meets the Atlantic. The Guyana Marriott is a new addition and, at the time of my stay, the only international brand in the country, with a reputation as the most modern and luxurious hotel in the capital.

Setting and arrival
The hotel is about 26 miles from Cheddi Jagan International Airport and under 6 miles from the smaller Ogle Airport. The contemporary lobby is open and full of natural light, with eye-catching lily-inspired lighting, and staff were very welcoming.
The rooms
My Executive Level room overlooked the city, with a king bed, large lounge chair, desk and satellite TV, plus access to the Executive Lounge with complimentary snacks and drinks. The 197 rooms and suites are spread over nine floors.
Dining and facilities
There is fine dining indoors and out, a connected indoor and outdoor pool and state-of-the-art conference and event facilities.
The verdict
Modern, comfortable and beautifully placed on the ocean, the Marriott is the leading business hotel in Georgetown.
