My Dream Stay at The BRIX Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finally checking into a hotel you’ve had your eye on for over a year. For me, that dream came true with my recent stay at The BRIX Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad. I had been looking forward to this moment for so long, and let me tell you—it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for a treat.

Here’s everything about my stay at The BRIX Hotel that made it so special.

First Impressions: Walking Into Elegance

As soon as I walked into the lobby, I was immediately struck by the sleek, modern design. The hotel has this upscale, boutique feel that balances luxury with warmth. The décor is contemporary but inviting, with a tasteful mix of textures and local influences that make it stand out from your average luxury hotel. Every detail—from the lighting to the artwork—was clearly thought through, giving the hotel a sophisticated yet welcoming vibe.

The front desk staff greeted me with the biggest smiles, and check-in was a breeze. They made me feel like I’d been there a dozen times before, even though it was my first stay. It was the perfect start to what would be an unforgettable stay.

The Room: Comfort Meets Style

Now, let’s talk about the room. After dreaming about this for over a year, I was so excited to see what awaited me. And wow, it did not disappoint!

What I loved about my room:

• Chic design: The room was beautifully designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Everything from the furniture to the artwork had this minimal but luxurious feel. The attention to detail was impeccable.

• Stunning views: My room had large floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a breathtaking view of the Port of Spain skyline. At night, the city lights created this incredible backdrop that made my room feel like the ultimate urban retreat.

• Comfort for days: The bed? Absolutely divine. One of those beds where you just sink in and never want to leave. It was like sleeping on a cloud, and after a long day of exploring, it was exactly what I needed. They didn’t skimp on the linens either—plush pillows, crisp sheets, and a comforter that just hugged you to sleep.

But that wasn’t all. The room came fully stocked with modern conveniences like fast Wi-Fi, a large flat-screen TV, and a spacious bathroom complete with luxury toiletries. The rainfall shower was one of those little touches that felt like a spa experience after a busy day.

Dining at The BRIX: A Culinary Delight

I have to say, the food at The BRIX Hotel was another highlight of my stay. I love when hotels put as much effort into their dining options as they do into their rooms, and this place hit the mark.

Breakfast: Mornings started with an incredible breakfast spread at the hotel’s chic restaurant. Whether you’re craving a classic breakfast or something more exotic, they had it all. I opted for a mix of local flavors and international dishes, and everything was cooked to perfection. The fresh fruit and local pastries were a delightful touch.

Rooftop Bar: And then there’s the rooftop bar. Oh. My. Gosh. This place is a gem! It quickly became my go-to spot for unwinding in the evening. Not only does it serve up fantastic drinks (the cocktails were chef’s kiss), but the panoramic view of Port of Spain from the rooftop was unbeatable. Watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand and the city lights twinkling below was honestly one of my favorite moments of the entire trip. If you’re staying at The BRIX Hotel, this spot is a must.

The Amenities: All About the Extras

What’s a luxury stay without some fabulous amenities? The BRIX Hotel delivered in that department too.

Fitness Center: For those who want to stay active, the fitness center is state-of-the-art. They had everything I needed for a good workout, from cardio machines to free weights. Plus, the space was spotless, and the view from the gym windows made exercising feel less like a chore.

Pool: The pool area was another favorite hangout spot for me. It's a beautiful outdoor space with plenty of loungers where you can relax and soak in the Trinidad sun. Even better, there’s poolside service, so you can sip on your favorite drink without leaving your sunbed.

Service Excellence: Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. Whether it was helping me book a tour, giving me tips on exploring Port of Spain, or just making sure I had everything I needed, they were always friendly and attentive. They truly made me feel like a VIP the entire time.

The BRIX: Worth the Year-Long Anticipation?

Absolutely! I can’t express enough how much I loved my stay at The BRIX Hotel. After eyeing this spot for over a year, it completely lived up to the hype and then some. The chic design, luxurious room, incredible amenities, and exceptional service made this stay unforgettable.
