Historic Georgetown Club building reimagined as a boutique hotel with colonial character. Features comfortable rooms with period furnishings, lush garden setting, small pool, and restaurant serving Guyanese and international cuisine. Quiet residential location with easy walking access to central Georgetown attractions.
Georgetown Club Hotel occupies the historic Georgetown Club building on Camp Street, one of Georgetown's principal north-south avenues lined with colonial-era wooden mansions, embassies, and modern commercial structures. The Georgetown Club was originally established as a private members' institution in the colonial era, and the building retains visible traces of that history: high ceilings, timber floors, a covered veranda, and mature trees in the surrounding garden that provide shade uncommon in urban Georgetown.
The hotel conversion has preserved the colonial character while incorporating modern amenities. Guest rooms are furnished with period-inflected pieces — timber furniture, botanical-print fabrics, louvre shutters — combined with air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, and free Wi-Fi. The inventory spans standard rooms and larger suite-style configurations. The building's original high-ceilinged rooms translate well to hotel use, giving even standard rooms a sense of space above comparable Georgetown options.
A small swimming pool set within the garden is one of the hotel's most distinctive features, distinguishing it from most of Georgetown's budget and mid-range competitors. The poolside area, shaded by mango and breadfruit trees, provides a quiet retreat during Georgetown's hot afternoons. Loungers are available for resident use.
The on-site restaurant serves a mixed menu of Guyanese and international dishes — pepperpot, metemgee, and Creole-style fish sit alongside pasta, grilled chicken, and sandwiches. A bar stocks local El Dorado rum, Carib beer, and cocktails. Laundry service and a tour desk for arranging interior excursions are also available.
The hotel is a popular choice with regional business travellers and longer-stay visitors who appreciate the combination of historical character, a garden setting, and proximity to the city centre. Camp Street's position means that major embassies, the Bank of Guyana, and the main commercial district are within a few minutes by car or twenty minutes on foot from the hotel.
