Taxi to and from Roraima Duke Lodge
Rides from Roraima Duke Lodge, across Duke Street from the US Embassy, to the airport, meetings and dinner.
Roraima Duke Lodge is a small hotel in a restored colonial-style building at 94 Duke Street, Kingston, run by Roraima Airways. Its main selling point for many guests is the address: the lodge sits directly across from the US Embassy, and the property has 24-hour gated security.
Duke Street runs one way
On this stretch Duke Street is one way, northbound toward the seawall. A car coming from the south pulls up on the lodge side without turning, so set the pickup at the gate and walk straight out.
An embassy appointment from the lodge
The embassy gate is a few steps away on foot, so most guests with a visa interview do not need a car at all. The ride matters afterwards: phones are not allowed inside the embassy and there is no storage, so leave yours at the lodge and book the onward ride when you are back.
Airports and the rest of town
The lodge is about 42 km from CJIA by road, about GYD 21,000, 45 to 55 minutes outside the morning peak. Ogle Airport is about 9.5 km, about GYD 4,400. The Marriott is about 600 metres away, and Stabroek Market about 2.2 km, about GYD 2,000.
Staying with an airline
Roraima Airways, founded in 1992 by Gerald and Debra Gouveia, runs the lodge alongside its charter flights, so some guests arrive on Roraima flights from the interior at Ogle. The lodge has a 40-foot pool, a gym and conference rooms. The neighbouring house at 93 Duke Street, now part of the property, once housed the Advisory Committee on Broadcasting.
