Sir Royston Hopkin
By Nelson A. King
The Barbados-based Caribbean Tourism
Organization (CTO) on Monday
paid tribute to renowned Grenadian
hotelier Sir Royston O. Hopkin, KCMG,
owner and chairman of the award-winning
Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada,
who died following complications
from heart surgery. He was 75.
CTO said that Sir Royston, the only
Caribbean hotelier to be ever knighted
by the Queen of England, has had an
extensive and distinguished career in
the hospitality and tourism industry
spanning more than 55 years of contributions
to his home country and the
entire Caribbean.
“Sir Royston is one of the most decorated
and honored hoteliers throughout
the Caribbean,” said CTO in a statement.
“He was known, not only for his
work in developing tourism in Grenada
but in helping grow tourism all
across the Caribbean region, as he
worked as a volunteer on the Board
of Directors of the Caribbean Hotel &
Tourism Association and along with
the Caribbean Tourism Organization
officials to help hoteliers and destinations
develop their individual products,”
CTO added.
It noted that Sir Royston was the
recipient of many prestigious awards,
including the coveted CHTA “Hotelier
of the Year”; Lifetime Achievement
Awards from CHTA and CTO; the
Star Diamond Award from the American
Academy of Hospitality Sciences;
the inaugural Minister’s Outstanding
Achievement Award from Clarice Modeste
Curwen, minister of Tourism and
Civil Aviation in Grenada; the Lifetime
Achievement Award at the 2019
Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment
Summit; the Trail Blazer’s Award at
the International African American
Hotel Ownership & Investment Summit
& Trade Show; and numerous
other recognitions from the Grenada
Hotel Association.
Sir Royston Hopkin is survived by
his wife Lady Betty Hopkin and four
children — Ryan, Nerissa, Janelle and
Samantha; grandchildren Téa, Layan,
Natanya and baby Royston; son-in law
Neil Duncan; daughter in law Ruth
Hopkin; brothers Gerald, Arnold and

CTO said Sir Royston’s life will be
celebrated on Thursday, March 5.
