Cara Lodge

Cara Lodge is the perfect hotel for those who want to soak up Guyanese heritage and culture. One of the oldest wooden buildings in Georgetown, it has in just 6 years become the best known hotel in the country.

Cara Lodge was built in the 1840s and originally consisted of two houses. It has a long and romantic history associated with it and was the home of the first Lord Mayor of Georgetown. Over the years it has hosted many dignitaries including Edward VII who stayed at the house in 1923 and planted the sapodilla tree in the front garden, to mark  the occasion. He was, of course, later to abdicate and marry the American Wallis Simpson.

Other dignitaries have included President Jimmy Carter in 1996 and HRH Prince Charles in April 2000.

In recent years the home has become a unique hotel that offers all the tradition and nostalgia of a time gone by, complete with all the comfort and services of the most modern of hotels, all in the most congenial family atmosphere. Our restaurant, The Bottle Restaurant, is known as the best in the capital and is open for lunch and dinner daily except Sunday

Cara Lodge is the perfect location for the vacationer wishing to experience a taste of Guyana's past, as well as for the business person who requires today's services in a comfortable and unique place to stay.

Superior Rooms include High Speed Internet Access, DVD Player, bathrobes and superior toiletries.
