Belize’s story has always been one of evolution, where history and progress exist side by side. Now, Fort George Hotel & Spa is just one month away from welcoming guests to its highly anticipated new Signature Sea View Tower, marking the next chapter in the property’s continued evolution. Opening this fall, the expansion will add 60 new guest rooms and bring the hotel’s total accommodations to 123 rooms, reflecting Fort George’s commitment to growing thoughtfully while remaining rooted in the heritage that has defined it for generations.
With opening day on the horizon, the expansion continues Fort George’s vision of offering thoughtfully designed stays for both leisure and business travelers at the gateway to Belize.
A New Chapter Is Almost Here
The expansion will introduce a new arrival experience and lobby, Mediterranean restaurant, separate hotel bar and coffee shop, waterfront pool, retail boutique, and additional meeting spaces. Together with the hotel’s existing Lord Ashcroft Centre, offering 6,815 sq. ft. of flexible meeting and event space for up to 500 guests, the expansion significantly strengthens Fort George’s offering for leisure, business, groups, meetings, and celebrations.
Scheduled to open in fall 2026, the new tower represents more than additional accommodations. It represents the next chapter for a landmark that has evolved alongside Belize City, pairing its established heritage and waterfront setting with contemporary accommodations, design, dining, and guest experiences and Fort George Hotel & Spa’s commitment to thoughtfully growing while preserving the character that has made it one of Belize City’s most recognizable landmarks. With just one month to go, guests can soon experience an expanded Fort George that brings together heritage architecture, contemporary comfort, and intuitive hospitality. Designed with the same attention to detail found throughout the property, the new tower complements the hotel’s existing identity while looking confidently toward the future.
The Gateway to Belize
For many visitors, Fort George Hotel & Spa is where their Belize journey begins. Located in Belize City, the hotel serves as an ideal gateway for travelers arriving for business, cultural exploration, or onward adventures throughout the country. Its location makes it easy to transition between city experiences while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a full-service hotel rooted in the historic Fort George neighborhood. Whether visiting for a single night or an extended stay, guests experience a property that feels connected to Belize rather than separate from it.
With the new tower opening next month, even more travelers will soon be able to begin their Belize experience at Fort George.
What’s Coming This Fall
The countdown to fall is officially underway. The new tower will introduce 60 additional guest rooms, bringing the hotel to a total of 123 accommodations while unveiling a collection of elevated new spaces.
Guests can look forward to bright new guest rooms, welcoming lounges, refreshed dining venues, inviting gathering spaces, an expanded pool deck, and beautifully designed interiors that reflect the hotel’s signature blend of contemporary comfort and Belizean character. Together, these additions will create a more seamless experience for both leisure and business travelers while expanding the hotel’s capacity to welcome more guests than ever before.
The expansion also follows a period of continued recognition for the property. After being named Best MICE Hotel 2025, Fort George Hotel & Spa has also been nominated for The MICE Award 2026, reinforcing its reputation as one of Belize’s premier destinations for meetings, conferences, and events.
In just one month, guests will experience an expanded Fort George Hotel & Spa that continues to honor Belize’s heritage while looking confidently toward its future.
