Normandie

Port of Spain


Tucked into a quiet backstreet a short walk from the Savannah, this is a lovely retreat, with inviting, spotless and well-appointed rooms featuring lots of wood. There are also a range of self-contained studios and suites, plus a reliable restaurant and a mini-mall of interesting shops on-site. A popular concert venue at Carnival time, too.
