Rose Hall Great House wins Caribbean award on 11 October

Rose Hall Great House has won the Caribbean’s Leading Tourist Attraction 2026 award, and its Halloween Haunted Night Tours at the Montego Bay mansion run from 28 to 31 October 2026. The recognition followed the World Travel Awards gala held on 11 October 2026 at the Princess Grand in Green Island, Hanover.

The programme gives visitors a newly announced reason to see the restored house during a specific four-day period. It also links the award to the property’s continuing visitor programme after its recovery from Hurricane Melissa.

World Travel Awards recognition reaches Rose Hall

Rose Hall Great House Tours received the Caribbean award at the 11 October gala, according to the operator’s account of the ceremony. Team members attended the event, where the attraction was recognised for the second consecutive year after its 2025 title.

The award follows a difficult period for the property. Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica on 28 October 2025, and the operator says staff then worked to clean and restore the mansion while dealing with losses in their own communities. The house reopened to visitors on 1 December 2025.

The same operator announcement lists the Halloween Haunted Night Tours for 28 to 31 October 2026. The programme uses the building’s historic rooms and the familiar Annie Palmer story as the basis for an evening presentation, while the supernatural elements remain part of the site’s long-running legend rather than established history. The award announcement and programme place both details at the Montego Bay attraction.

An eighteenth-century house with a renewed visitor programme

The property is described by its operator as a restored 18th-century architectural house. Its visitor information also presents the building as a colonial ruin restored during the 1960s, with guided day and night tours centred on the mansion, gardens and the White Witch of Rose Hall legend.

That background gives the October programme a clear setting. The Halloween dates do not introduce a separate venue in Montego Bay; they apply to the same house that reopened on 1 December 2025 and now carries the 2026 Caribbean tourism title. The operator’s visitor information for the house identifies the mansion, garden tour and haunted night tour as parts of the Rose Hall offering.

The house’s story combines architectural history with theatrical interpretation. Its night presentation refers to Annie Palmer, while the Halloween programme invites visitors to encounter the mansion after dark through tales associated with the White Witch. The award and the special dates therefore concern both the physical heritage site and the way its history is presented to visitors.
