Torarica

Torarica is a renovated colonial townhouse with modern rooms, pool and tropical garden close to the historic centre of Paramaribo.

The attractive former townhouse is located within walking distance of the historic centre and close to a district famed for its fashionable restaurants. The Torarica has been renovated while maintaining the authenticity of its Dutch colonial architecture. There’s a country-style terrace restaurant serving local dishes and international fare, a bar, and a separate hut on the grounds for breakfast. The leafy tropical grounds host an outdoor swimming pool with decking.

The standard guest rooms are bright and modern, each equipped with air-conditioning, complimentary Wifi, cable TV, fridge, iron, hairdryer, safe and a private bathroom with eco-friendly amenities. Meanwhile the Riverside rooms also feature a balcony with views over the river or the tropical garden.
