Bermuda's pink 1885 landmark looks over Hamilton Harbour, hung with major contemporary art and connected to a private south shore beach club.
“Fresh off a $100 million renovation in 2016, the 170 rooms and suites are now what you’d expect from a Fairmont-managed property—clean, modern, and comfortably luxurious.”

This stately resort in Hamilton is simply called The Princess—and once you're inside you’ll see her crown jewels sparkle.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The shops and restaurants of Front Street are a five-minute stroll away, right along the harbourfront.
The rooms
Signature rooms open onto wide balconies over Hamilton Harbour, where sailboats and yachts cruise past throughout the day.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater infinity pool looks straight out over Hamilton Harbour, lined with sun loungers and private cabanas.
The spa
Driftwood has nine treatment rooms for hydrofacials and after-sun recovery, and a sunlit lounge looks onto a water garden.
The gym and studio
Technogym equipment fills the two-story fitness center, and open-air yoga takes place beside the harbour pool.
At the table
Crown & Anchor serves afternoon tea out on the terrace, and 1609 pours rum cocktails directly over the marina.
How it began
During World War II, British intelligence turned the hotel into a covert hub where codebreakers intercepted transatlantic mail and radio messages.
