Which Hotel to Book in Fiji
Should you be exploring Fiji’s more developed islands, hotels will ensure you have a comfortable or even lavish place to stay in true Fiji style. While resorts are the main accommodation offering of this tropical holiday destination, which you can dive into in the 50 Best Resorts in Fiji, hotels are available in Fiji’s towns and cities. So whether you’re in Fiji on a business trip, are thoroughly exploring the islands, or simply need a place to stay in between flights, these are some of the best hotels in Fiji to choose from.
1. Grand Pacific Hotel
Fiji’s most famous hotel and a tourist attraction itself, the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva is a luxury option well worth considering for a special occasion or “just because”. Choose from either its charming heritage rooms and suites or the more modern guest rooms of the Kingsford Smith and Harbour Wings. Either way, the hotel is wedged between the capital’s scenic harbour and Albert Park, which can be enjoyed while dining on the waterfront or swimming in the outdoor pool. The hotel boasts a wide array of eateries, in-room dining and a bakery, as well as a day spa facility and weddings/events services.

Getting to town is also made easy thanks to Novotel’s complimentary shuttle service.
