This New Grand Cayman Retreat Just Joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World

By: Karen Udler - June 25, 2025 - 2:03 pm

There’s a new name to know in Grand Cayman. It’s called ONE | GT, and it’s a fresh, design-forward hotel that just became the newest member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The property is a centerpiece of George Town’s waterfront renaissance — a sleek, modern space that blends urban living with Caribbean ease.

This one has edge. It’s got Cayman’s first rooftop infinity pool. It’s got a dining program that punches far above its weight. And it feels different: more private residence than resort, more boutique escape than tourist hub.

The rooms? Big, clean-lined, and flooded with light. The service? Think valet arrival and a quiet, almost invisible luxury.

But it’s the location that seals it. You’re right in George Town — close enough to stroll the shops, dive the coral reef, or disappear into the quieter corners of the coast. There’s a sense that you’re in the middle of it all, but somehow still floating above it.

ONE | GT joins an exclusive group of independent hotels under the SLH flag — properties that favor personality over polish, discretion over fanfare. For Grand Cayman, it’s a sign of what’s next.

And it’s something very big in the heart of George Town, part of a growing portfolio of new hotels on the island from the new Hotel Indigo to the wellness-focused Vida to the soon-to-debut Grand Hyatt.

Here’s more on the hotel website.
