In the middle of everything
The Hamilton Princess is an elegant Bermuda institution that provides easy access to not only Hamilton but also the rest of the island. A short walk from both bus stops and the ferry terminal, the hotel has an excellent central location for those visiting Bermuda for the first time. With two pools--fresh and salt water--a beach is barely missed. And if you want those pink sands, guests at the Hamilton Princess have privileges at the Southampton Princess.

"relaxing and enjoyable vacation"
Loved everything about this hotel -- gorgeous habor, magnificent garden, beautiful room in new wing, great location. Employees are very friendly and courteous and very helpful in restaurants and shopping. I took the free ferry to the Southhampton Princess and went to the beach, unfortunately I could not bathe because the water is very cold at this time of the year. Used the ferry to see the island. I would definitely return next year with my family.

Beautiful view
The hotel and staff was excellent. Located downtown allowed us to walk to places to eat and nightlife. I also liked that we had a ferry to the other Fairmont to go to the beach.

Heaven when needed
We were staying at a B&B when I became ill. We needed a place that would provide comfort and services to help in the recovery process. The Hamilton Princess met and exceeded our expectations. The staff was very responsive to our needs and very compassionate. Among other things, they immediately provided a wheelchair and a shower stool upon request. Once I was back on my feet, several of the staff members recognized me in the lobby and inquired after my health. They were all very kind.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
All of Bermuda dining is expensive. Hotel had excellent but expensive bbq. Found some good more economical restaurants in town. La Tratoria, and don't miss Hog Penny, a friendly bar/rest reminiscent of Cheers.

Fantastic getaway
Our recent trip to Bermuda was fantastic! Our first time visiting the island and were pleasantly surprised to see it's beauty. The hotel staff was extraordinary. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The hotel could use a sprucing up in the rooms, however.

Not Applicable
Most of the shops were closed by 6:00 o'clock. Perhaps because we were there during the weekend and a holiday.
