8 Best Hotels in Bermuda

A winner for having high standards, great service, and a welcoming touch with fresh-from-the-garden flowers to celebrate your arrival, this is a hotel that stresses quality, service, and atmosphere, but also has enough humor to leave a rubber ducky on your bath mat. The best perch might well be the front porch swing, from which you can survey the lush grounds, including two tall royal palms that give the hotel its name. Also wonderful is the sunny, all-glass breakfast room, where you eat at 90-year-old Bermudian cedar tables. If you're looking for privacy, there are three buildings set around the gardens of the main 1903 building; many rooms here have private entrances.

The only full-service resort in Hamilton and located right on the harbor, just steps away from the liveliness of Front Street, the Fairmont-managed pastel-pink Princess is the reigning royalty of Bermuda lodging, boasting some of the island's most comfortable rooms and catering to its mainly business guests like no place else. Sophisticated contemporary rooms and suites have elegant hardwood furnishings and marble bathrooms. Fairmont Gold, the chain's exclusive boutique hotel within the larger property, is memorable for its regal lounge. The on-site spa is 5,400 square feet, with 9 therapy rooms and harbor views. There's also a two-story gym, a dedicated spa pool, and an outdoor pergola for fitness classes. The Princess has three excellent dining options: Crown & Anchor and the Duchess in the main hotel building and seasonal 1609 out on the pier, as well as the newly opened Intrepid, a steak house with soaring arched windows overlooking the hotel's marina and the harbor beyond. As with all Hamilton hotels, there's no beach; you can use a large lap pool and a multilevel infinity pool, or take a Jitney ride to the private south shore beach at Sinky Bay. Alternatively, two-person electric cars are available for rent on-site.

In an excellent location right on Elbow Beach, this resort offers stunning views, especially from the oceanside pool terrace. Accessible by passing through the Bermuda College campus, the resort, comprised of two peach-colored buildings, recently underwent much needed renovations, swapping their dated pastel aesthetic for a more moden beach vibe. The panoramic views remain unbeatable, however, and the beach, which is practically at your doorstep, stretches almost a mile. Their restaurant offering also received an overhaul—now you'll find island-inspired cuisine at Sol i Mar, the Sea Escape Beach Club, and the Atrium Bar & Lounge.

Harbor-front Inverurie was designed with the corporate client in mind, outfitted with sleek modern amenities including galley kitchens and offering private balconies overlooking Hamilton Harbour. Rooms come with fully-stocked refrigerators, ice makers, smart TVs, and workstations, although cribs or rollaway beds are not available if you have children in tow. You can watch the ferry make its way to Darrell's Wharf, which is downstairs, and stroll down to catch it for the 7-minute ride to town. In-room breakfast and supper is available, although some of Bermuda's nicest restaurants are within easy walking distance.

One of Bermuda's most luxurious resorts, the Loren at Pink Beach blends the natural beauty of a spectacular oceanfront setting with elegant European-inspired architecture, modern and high-end finishes, and an intimate vibe. Unusually spacious suites and villas feature private terraces, luxurious linens, marble bathrooms, and fluffy bathrobes. Gaze out at the turquoise waters of the south shore as you rejuvenate with a full day of pampering in the spa. From the romantic poolside cabanas to the dining room of the on-site restaurant, the property is simply stunning. It's hard to believe that such an out-of-this-world getaway is only a 10-minute drive from the airport.

Linked to a private golf course, this hotel has one of the sleekest, most contemporary looks on the island, with stylish rooms and a stunning infinity pool right at the harbor’s edge. One-bedroom suites along the water offer bright airy spaces with great views, chic furnishings, two big flat-screen TVs, and a full kitchen. The all-glass lobby leans toward trendy minimalism, which won’t be everyone’s taste but certainly makes a statement. Just note: while the setting is lovely, you’ll need to take a 10-minute cab ride to reach the nearest beach.

Expect a tranquil refined environment, good dining, and friendly service from longtime staff at this bright, blue-shuttered, white manor house. Inside the main house, built in 1906, traditionally decorated rooms have 12-foot ceilings and antique and reproduction furniture. The two-story building behind the main house is newer, set alongside a relaxing tropical garden. All rooms have either balconies or patios from which you can enjoy the lush greenery and pool; it's easy to forget you're downtown. A major renovation in 2017 introduced the on-site restaurant, Huckleberry, which is open for three meals daily and focuses on Southern and Bermudian food; 2024 saw the launch of Clarabell's, a wood-fired pizza joint named for a long-time chef of the hotel. As of January 2025, the hotel and its dining spaces are adults only, except for Clarabell's.

Set high on a hill on 12 acres of lush green overlooking the Town of St. George, the 28 cottages have recently undergone renovations, giving much needed love to these family-friendly accommodations within easy walking distance to town and all it has to offer. While the cottages are now updated with new furnishings and fittings, they still retain their Bermudian charm, with plenty of windows to let in the island sunshine and some featuring open beamwork and balconies overlooking the harbor. The cottages all feature kitchens—some with full-sized stoves. But you'll need to stock them yourself, as provisions are not provided and there are currently no food options on the property. A small grocery store is a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and there are food delivery services available, such as Pronto ( pronto.bm), to help round out a great place to stay with kids in the East End.
