Set in a tenderly restored gingerbread house in the heart of Newtown, Zoazo offers an intimate, nine‑room retreat where world‑class comforts meet true Caribbean charm.
With the Queen’s Park Savannah just a stroll away and Woodbrook’s cultural rhythm at its doorstep, Zoazo is a perfectly positioned sanctuary. Once home to the family of Trinidad’s first local Archbishop, this storied residence now offers a thoughtful and sustainably cultivated stay for discerning travellers and locals.
Every moment is considered. Fragrant notes infuse the air, waves of jazz and steelpan dance through the Great Room, and a well‑timed welcome drink meets you as you settle in.
Mornings begin with a refined Caribbean breakfast, where fresh, local ingredients are transformed into culinary delights.
Here, sustainability is woven into the everyday: glass carafes in every room, filtered water stations instead of plastic bottles, partnerships with local makers, and contributions to our community. We invite you to be part of our commitment to conscious hospitality — an experience that’s mindful, refined, and unforgettable.
Our distinctive interiors fill storied bones. Within this historic building, grand 30‑foot ceilings, true to its architectural era, are framed by 10‑inch mouldings, hinting at the timeless elegance within. Each room is well‑appointed with a blend of patinaed Creole charm and modern convenience.
Zoazo is led by Maria, a lifelong traveller with an eye for design and a deep love for home. After 35 years abroad, she dreamed of a space that felt like home without the obligations — refined yet familiar, luxuriously local.
Maria created Zoazo as both haven and homecoming, for herself and for those who want to travel meaningfully. Her signature is woven in every detail: from the thoughtful design‑forward spaces and personalised notes that greet you, to her commitment to fostering community. Through collaborations with local chefs, artisans, and brands, she ensures guests feel indulged whether they’re perched for a night or nested for the long haul.
