“Pink Palace” on the edge of Hamilton harbor

Old-world style permeates this hotel, set among palm trees and tropical gardens on the edge of Hamilton harbor. The hotel, known to locals as "The Pink Palace," opened its doors on Jan. 1, 1885. Rooms in the original building offer guests the full historic experience, although the new Bermudiana House provides the same level of comfort. And the hotel offers easy access to the shops and restaurants of downtown Hamilton.

  • Unique historic waterfront hotel
  • Freshwater and saltwater pools
  • Complimentary ferry to private beach club at the Fairmont Southampton

Fairmont Gold level rooms have access to a private lounge with honor bar, cocktail hour canapés, exclusive concierge, and complimentary breakfast.

Features

Guests relax in an Adirondack chair by the freshwater and saltwater pools, soak in the harbor views, or take a few practice putts on the outdoor practice green. A ferry provides access to the Fairmont Southhampton, where guests make use of its beach club and other facilities. Guests also taxi to Riddell's Bay Golf and Country Club, the hotel's exclusive 18-hole partner, for a round of golf.

 

Harley's Restaurant serves traditional island favorites in its elegant indoor dining room, while Harley's Terrace features a casual lunch of salads and sandwiches plus dinner nightly at its harborside tables. The hotel's sophisticated lobby bar and restaurant, The Heritage Court, was praised by the New York Times as having the best afternoon tea in Bermuda.

You Get What You Pay For

This was our first time in Bermuda, so we wanted to go to a nice hotel with a good location to make sure we had all our needs met. This hotel fit the bill nicely. Clean rooms that were not huge, but we weren't there for the room! Service in the hotel was excellent and the location was great - just a few blocks from the Hamilton bus station, so it was easy to travel around the island. We'd recommend the hotel to anyone looking for the full hotel experience, though we're thinking of finding a place with a kitchen next time to do some cooking ourselves, as food is expensive enough without adding in the cost of someone cooking, serving, etc. However, this is a hotel where you get your money's worth!

Elegant get-away

This was just a few days of luxury for me; I wandered around the towns, using the ferry this time because the water is so relaxing. I did not use the fitness center or the pool, but there seemed to be plenty of activity in those areas, however I enjoyed watching others as I sat at the pool and read. I thought the little grab-and-go cafe for morning muffins and coffee was a nice touch for those in a hurry for business.

Island Paradise

Due to flight problems our arrival at the Princess was delayed one day. The Princess allowed us to extend our stay for one day and did not charge us the for extra day. The hotel staff was helpfull and friendly. We last stayed at the Princess 33 years ago on our honeymoon and plan on booking another stay at the Princess within the next 6-12 months.
