First impressions?
Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club has stood in the City of Hamilton since 1885, the year after Queen Victoria’s daughter Louise, for whom the hotel is named, visited Bermuda. From the street, this stately structure is hard to miss. For starters, it’s bright pink, a rose-colored hue that led locals to deem it the “Pink Palace” when it was first built. These days it’s simply called the Princess – once inside, you’ll see her crown jewels sparkle.
What can we expect from the rooms?
The most recently renovated rooms are in the Bermudiana Wing, a quiet complex set back from the main hotel where you can watch small boat pull into the residential waterway. All rooms have modern amenities and contemporary design, with the Bermudiana suites leaning toward sandy neutrals and subtle seafaring touches alongside the built-ins and ambient lighting. Consider splurging for one of the Signature Rooms, which feature large balconies overlooking the harbor, one of the busiest waterways in Bermuda; watching sailboats and day-cruisers jet across the cobalt waters never gets old.
Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?
The dining game here is strong – you won’t have to go very far for a memorable meal. That’s particularly true at steakhouse Intrepid and open-air cantina 16o9 – both of which are set above the harbor for incredible sunsets and clear views of the gleaming white super yachts. Closer to the lobby, Crown & Anchor, the hotel’s casual bar and restaurant, does all-day casual dishes in a lively environment; it’s here you’ll fine guests posted up in front of the bar TVs for a lively sports-watching experience or grabbing their nightcap and to-go cookies (the properties chocolate-chip ones are to die for) to bring back to the room.
