Photo: Courtesy Graycliff<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>ByNina Kokotas Hahn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Most people are shocked to learn that a hotel like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Nassau-Hotels-Graycliff-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h442404.Hotel-Information\">Graycliff<\/a> exists in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/travel-guide\/Bahamas.tg31\/\">Bahamas<\/a>. Not only for its pirate lore and luxurious B&amp;B accommodations, but for the whole package of unexpected and elevated offerings, each of which stand in stark contrast to the popular all-inclusive resorts of nearby Paradise Island.<\/p>\n<p>Think of Graycliff as a well-kept secret, the exact sort of twist that can turn an ordinary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/travel-guide\/Bahamas.tg31\/\">Bahamas vacation<\/a> into something remarkable. Here\u2019s why Graycliff is reason enough to visit the Bahamas:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Former digs of a famous pirate.<\/strong> Graycliff originally belonged to a pirate in the same era that an unofficial skull-and-crossbones Bahamian flag was the real deal. As history tells it, Graycliff mansion was built in 1740 by <strong>Captain John Howard Graysmith, a fearsome Caribbean pirate who plundered treasure ships along the Spanish Main<\/strong>. Graycliff\u2019s history runs rich both before and after the pirate, previously home to the first Anglican Church in Nassau before it was destroyed by the Spaniards in 1703, captured and headquartered by the American Navy in 1776, and an exclusive scene for Prohibition socialites in the 1920s, when it was owned by a good friend to <strong>Al Capone<\/strong>. This and more history are part of the fun in discovering Graycliff today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Historic, boutique hotel set away from Nassau madness.<\/strong> You\u2019ll give up beachfront views, but gain a secluded, lush environment tucked around a pretty pool and just a few minutes away from the beach. The rooms\u201420 guest chambers and cottages in all\u2014are each unique and charming, some with sizeable floorplans, some new and some old. Since history runs deep here, you can request to stay in the original master bedroom in the main house known as the Baillou or the Pool Cottage that once accommodated <strong>Winston Churchill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Award-winning Graycliff Cigar Company.<\/strong> Founded in 1997 by the Garzaroli family, the cigar company features 16 master rollers and blends ranging from the exclusive Grayliff Professionale to the available-only-in-the-Bahamas Bahiba. Graycliff Cigars have also scored awards from across the globe, including France\u2019s <em>Club Cigare<\/em>\u2019s 2001 Cigar of the Year Award and <em>Robb Report<\/em>\u2019s Best of the Best for the 2006 Chateau Grand Cru. Come to Graycliff and you can watch the <em>torcedores<\/em> at work or even take a cigar rolling lesson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Dining takes typical Bahamian fare to a new level.<\/strong> Most would not say they go to the Bahamas for the food, but Graycliff may change your mind. Bahamian influences inspire sophisticated, beautiful dishes with a twist in a grand setting. There\u2019s also Humidor Churrascaria for those with a hankering for lots and lots of meat. Whatever you choose, take a look at that wine list, wouldja\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Largest Wine Cellar in the Caribbean and one of the largest in the world.<\/strong> Perhaps the most surprising thing to learn about Graycliff is that it\u2019s home to an incredible wine cellar housing some 250,000 bottles from over 400 vintners in 15 countries. It\u2019s also been awarded the Wine Spectator Grand Award since 1988. Rumors run wild about its worth, but let\u2019s just say the wine list includes an <strong>1865 Ch\u00e2teau Lafite<\/strong> and a <strong>$200,000 1727 Rudesheimer Apostelwein from Bremen Ratskeller<\/strong>. Guests can enjoy that mind-blowing list when dining at Graycliff or participate in a luxe tasting that involves paired cheeses and a tour.<\/p>\n<p>More recently Graycliff addeda <strong>Cognateque<\/strong>, a 9,000-bottle collection of cognacs, armagnacs and port, of which 1,500 are collector\u2019s specials.
