Fort Young Hotel
Fort Young Hotel is a hotel on the quayside of Roseau, Dominica, located in the southern part of the capital next to Garraway Hotel and Dominica Museum and Roseau Public Library, just south of the Governor's Residence and Roseau Cathedral. Located within the ramparts of the old colonial military Fort Young of 1770s vintage and built in the backdrop of a quay overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the 71-room hotel was established in 1964 and hosts a diving centre.
==History==
The hotel location was once the Fort Young, the major military installation of Dominica, built in 1770 and named after the first British Governor, William Young, who ordered its construction during the American Independence War Years.〔 In the late 19th century it was used as the headquarters of the Dominican police force.〔 The fort became a hotel in 1964.〔 In 1979, the devastating Hurricane David destroyed a significant part of the remains of the fort. The courtyard of the hotel retains the original flagstone walkways.〔〔 Ruins of the old fort, however, still remain and cannons are located in the foyer and the courtyard at the entrance.
The hotel is often used as a venue for important regional and international conferences, such as the 41st meeting of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States in June 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=COMMUNIQUE 41st MEETING OF THE OECS AUTHORITY )〕 It has also hosted the Real Mas beauty contest, amongst many other events.〔(Dominica Central ), Retrieved 22 June 2011〕In 2005 the hotel staff were crowned winners of the annual Kubuli Carib Canoe Race.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kubuli Carib Canoe Race )〕 In November 2007, the hotel passed management to Fazl Khan, a Sri Lankan national and is currently listed as a 3.5 diamond hotel.
