Historic waterfront hotel combining old world colonial charm with contemporary style, perched on Roseau's shoreline. The hotel features elegant rooms with Caribbean Sea views, multiple dining options, infinity pool, full-service dive center, and convenient access to the capital's attractions.

Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort occupies a historic waterfront position on Victoria Street in the heart of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, in Saint George Parish. The property was developed around the foundations of an eighteenth-century British fort, and original stone-walled features from the fortification remain visible throughout the public areas, lending the hotel a distinctive sense of Caribbean colonial history. Rooms and suites — totaling over seventy units across several building wings — range from standard Caribbean Sea View rooms to superior and suite categories, with upper-floor seaward units offering the widest panoramas over the water. All rooms include air conditioning, private bathrooms, and contemporary fittings. The infinity pool on the main terrace is positioned directly above the shoreline, providing an elevated vantage point over the Caribbean Sea that is popular in the late afternoon. Dining is centered on the Marquis Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner combining Caribbean flavors with international preparations, using fresh fish and locally sourced produce. The waterfront bar has become a recognized meeting point for both guests and Roseau residents, with cocktails and light meals served throughout the day. The hotel's dive center is a primary draw for active travelers: PADI-certified diving courses, guided dives at volcanic submarine sites, and full equipment rental are available, and the proximity of multiple exceptional underwater locations — including volcanic hot spring vents and diverse reef systems — makes Fort Young a well-regarded base for diving in Dominica. A spa, gym, and business facilities round out the property's amenities. The central location on Victoria Street places the hotel within easy walking distance of the Roseau Market, Old Market Square, Dominica Museum, Botanic Gardens, and the ferry terminal serving inter-island connections to Martinique and Guadeloupe. Rates range from approximately $145 to $295 per night.
