SUR_EcoResort_SurinameTB

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

The eco-conscious hotel is located within walking distance of the historic centre and close to a district famed for its fashionable restaurants. Formerly a townhouse, the Eco 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.
