Hamilton Princess

The Hamilton Princess Hotel and Beach Club is a top-class resort on the beautiful tropical island of Bermuda. The Hamilton Princess has always been a grand hotel but is now a Fairmont-managed hotel. The hotel has recently been renovated and updated to include a raft of modern amenities and extra features while retaining the original Princess style.

Location

Bermuda is a unique island in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has long-standing British connections and still retains a huge Royal Naval Dockyard complex. Its proximity to the US creates a British-American culture blended with Bermudan individual character.

Moreover, the Hamilton Princess resort commands a prime waterfront location. This location overlooks Hamilton Harbor, close to Front Street, the vibrant hub of the capital.

Bermuda is also a popular holiday destination with its gorgeous weather, pink-sand beaches, and luxury hotels. There are also upmarket shops and restaurants, water sports facilities, and lively nightlife. L.F. Wade International Airport serves the island.

Style and Hospitality

This hotel is very grand and pink, rightly deserving of its sobriquet, the Pink Palace. Although managed by Fairmont, the resort is privately owned by a local Bermudan family. This family invested funds to update and elevate the property.

Additions and improvements include the eye-popping 60-berth marina, now one of the main attractions of the Princess. Additionally, the interiors are swish and modern, enhanced by wall-to-wall marble and a seriously notable modern art collection.

Guests are greeted by friendly and knowledgeable doormen dressed in traditional Bermuda shorts. Additionally, other sharply-liveried staff makes visitors feel welcome and cosseted.
