The Royal Torarica

On December 23, 2007, the Royal Torarica opened its doors for business. This four-star (plus) hotel is located against the river in downtown Paramaribo. (Kleine Waterstraat 10). For reservations call Boomerang Tours & Travel at 800 364 - 6010 or e-mail info@boomerangtours.com . (Suriname is located in South America just between Guyana and French Guiana and is north of Brazil.)

The following show takes you on a tour of the magnificent lobby featuring paintings by local Suriname artist, "Dorette", and gives a feel for the ambiance in the restaurant. The next photos illustrate the decor in the rooms as well as the ensuite bathroom with a rainforest shower. Air conditioning is individually regulated rather than an on/off button and each bed is crowned with a comfortable duvet. The bedrooms also have state of the art flat screen television sets and wireless internet.

The lowest price rooms begin with the garden view rooms with the river view rooms located on the other side of the hall. These rooms retail around $220. The next level of room is called deluxe and a few overlooking the river have a terrace.

Although the landscaping is not yet complete, the restaurant food is excellent and the hotel is fully operational sharing all of the amenities of the Torarica next door.
