Bermuda Hotels and Resorts Articles

Fairmont Hamilton Princess is a historically rich hotel situated on the captivating Hamilton Harbour. Open since 1885, the resort is immensely popular amongst business travelers and those seeking the Bermuda experience without having to be right on a beach. It is situated near downtown so shopping and eating outside of the hotel is just a short walk away.

There are 410 rooms and suites of all kinds of different styles to suit many different wants and needs. There is a “Fairmont Gold Floor” which has been described as a hotel within a hotel that offers private check-ins and an exclusive concierge amongst other features.

There is no shortage of food at this resort. There are a few different restaurants to choose from on site such as Harley’s Restaurant, Harley’s Terrace and the Heritage Court. Private candlelit dinners on your terrace are an option along with regular good old fashioned room service for a less romantic setting. Since it’s located close to downtown, you can venture out to the many restaurants available there to try out the local cuisine.

The resort has 2 pools to choose from if you feel like swimming, but should you desire a day at the beach, there is a complimentary ferry you can take to the sister property, Fairmont Southampton Hotel. If you prefer land activities instead, you can have the concierge arrange some tee time at one of the private golf courses or you can stay in and enjoy some relaxation time at the day spa and saunas located on site. The concierge can help make arrangements for any activities such as diving, snorkeling and site seeing so you’ll never be bored.

Located on the most western point of Bermuda, 9 Beaches offers relaxing, cottage style vacationing on the ocean’s edge. Built in 2005, there are 18 acres of private waterfront property that keep people coming back for more of the wonderfully casual 9 Beaches resort experience.

There are 84 cottages to choose from, all with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Some cottages are even in the water on stilts with boardwalks connecting them to one another. The cottages on the water have 2’x4’ plexi-glass windows built into the floor so you can watch the fish swim by in the pristine waters below.

As for dining, there is a free hot breakfast buffet that runs from 7:30am until 10:30am every morning. There are a couple different restaurants at the resort to choose from. If you don’t feel like dining in one of them you could always use your Cabana cell phone that each room is equipped with to order from their “a la Cart” service, which serves almost everywhere on the resort from 11am to 11pm.

There are many activities to choose from at 9 Beaches Resort. For starters, there are 9 beaches for you to enjoy sun bathing and water play, thus the name of the resort. Other water activities include swimming in the outdoor pool, snorkeling, paddle boating, kayaking, jet skiing and so much more. If you prefer land activities you can play tennis, go bike riding, golfing and even horseback riding. Then, just when you think there is nothing else to do, the concierge on site can help you plan more should you desire to travel around Bermuda for other activities like site seeing or shopping. 9 Beaches is seclusion and fun all in one place. It’s great for those seeking relaxation or some tropical adventures.
