26 Best Hotels in Bermuda
Few places in the world boast the charm of Bermuda's curvaceous, colorful shoreline. It's a boon, then, that the lagoons, coves, and coasts, as well as its inland sanctuaries, are filled with equally colorful, alluring places to stay. But wherever you opt to stay, you are never far away from picture-perfect water views.
The quintessential accommodation on the island is a pink cottage amid manicured gardens and coral-stone pathways. Terraced whitewashed roofs (designed to capture rainwater) sit atop walls of pinks, peaches, and pastels, looking like cakes of ice cream in pink-wafer sand. Add a waterfront setting, and voilà—the lure of Bermuda.
If you find yourself craving a beachfront resort, and you can afford it, several places offer quality right-on-the-sand stays; another handful are a stone's throw away from the beach. The island is blessed with clean, well-maintained public beaches that are easily reached by bus and aren't far from any point on the island.
Hamilton has many sophisticated lodging choices, but vacationers looking for beachfront relaxation will be disappointed in the beachless capital city. In fact, all noteworthy beaches are on the southern side of the island. With only a couple of exceptions, beachfront lodging choices are along a 7-mile stretch of coast that runs along the central to western tail of the island, west from Paget to Warwick, Southampton, and Sandys. Lodging choices on the north coast of the island often are on glittering Hamilton Harbour or have deepwater access to the Atlantic, but not beaches.
Bermuda is a land of cottage colonies, cliff-top apartments, and beachfront resort hotels. Hidden along small parish roads, however, you can also find family-run, flower-filled guesthouses and simple, inexpensive efficiencies. In fact, with the exception of the Fairmont Southampton, and the tall but unobtrusive larger main building at Elbow Beach, there are no high-rises in Bermuda. And nowhere do neon signs sully the landscape. Indeed, many of Bermuda's lodging properties are guesthouses, identifiable only by small, inconspicuous signs or plaques. Those who prefer bed-and-breakfasts will have no problem finding quaint retreats with local attention.

Fourways Restaurant & Inn
With a top-notch restaurant on-site, this pleasant cottage colony comes to life at mealtimes; for the rest of the day, lose yourself in Fourways' quiet solitude and bountiful hospitality. Though there are only a few attractions within walking distance, it's very easy to pass the time in such a beautiful garden setting. The colony is set amid a profusion of greenery and flowers around a pool; its suites have marble floors and balconies or patios. The charming historical feel continues through the main edifice, a family home (now a restaurant), which belonged to the owners of Harveys Bristol Cream in the 1700s. And, in keeping with the old-fashioned decor, the service is exemplary.
Granaway Guest House
A 1734 manor house with gardens, Granaway is an affordable accommodation option for those who do not need to be on the beach. It has clean, well-maintained rooms and lots of space to relax with its lounges, outdoor chairs, and barbecue area. Don't worry about transportation, as it's right across the street from Hamilton Harbour and the ferry terminal. South shore beaches are a 30-minute walk or a 15-minute cab ride away. All rooms are distinct; the Palmetto Room features original Bermuda cedar beams, and the Royale Room has a private terrace with harbor views. A private cottage gives you your own small home with a kitchen.
Hamilton Princess & Beach Club
Rosewood Bermuda
Salt Kettle House
Although longtime innkeeper Hazel Lowe has sadly passed, Salt Kettle House, which rests directly on a secluded bay adjoining Hamilton Harbour (as well as being a stone's throw from the ferry), remains a family-run guesthouse with an intimate inviting atmosphere and friendly welcoming hosts. A cozy lounge inside the main entrance has a real fireplace and more than enough books to keep you going. Returning patrons constitute 95% of guests. Two waterside studio cottages have shaded patios and lounge chairs, and kitchenettes. You can fish here and cook your catch, or lounge on a lawn hammock with a good book.
AZURA Bermuda
Clairfont Guest Apartments
It's probably the island's best buy if you're on a budget; although the Clairfont is not exactly fancy, it's spotlessly clean and the beach is just a five-minute stroll away. Choose between two studios or six one-bedrooms—all with fully equipped kitchens. The studios have king-size beds and separate kitchens. The four sunny upstairs units have balconies, and the downstairs apartments have patios, leading onto a communal lawn and a nice pool. Rooms are all spacious, and there's a bus stop right outside. The property welcomes a lot of families with children during the summer months, and Warwick Long Bay Playground is nearby. Monthly rates in winter and repeat guest discounts are a great way to save; call for availability and pricing. Early booking is recommended.
Coco Reef Resort
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.
Dawkins Manor Hotel
Dawkins Manor offers a cozy affordable alternative to the \"bigger\" resorts, with a homey relaxed vibe. This family-run spot features colorful Bermudian architecture and tropical gardens. Accommodations are apartment-style, with one- and two-bedroom units that include kitchenettes or full kitchens—perfect for longer stays or travelers who like to self-cater. Rooms come with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and many have private patios or balconies. Guests can enjoy the outdoor pool, sun deck, and barbecue area. While there’s no restaurant on-site, markets and local eateries are nearby. Elbow Beach and public transportation are within walking distance.
Greenbank Guest House & Cottages
The north-shore guesthouse has been family-run since the 1950s, and this is what Bermuda vacations were like back then: by way of entertainment you had a due-west pier with chairs to watch the sunset and a private dock for deepwater swimming. A stay at Greenbank is a slow relaxed experience. There's no beach here. Instead, you sit out on the harbor-front lawn and take in the sun or catch the ferry, just steps across the road, to explore the island. The waterside cottages, especially Salt Winds and Sea Fan, have lovely harbor views. No two are alike—some were converted from old horse-and-buggy stations once used in transporting salt. All are clean and updated, with private entrances, shaded verandas, and either kitchens or continental breakfasts included (although only with two suites).
Grotto Bay Beach Resort
Hillcrest Boutique Hotel
Breathing new life into the former Aunt Nea's Inn with a complete renovation, Hillcrest Boutique Hotel reimagines this grand 18th-century former home. The new owners have created modern elegant public spaces and rooms that still retain the characteristic Bermudian charm. Guests have access to a saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna, and an outdoor lounge complete with fire pit for cozy gatherings. Plus, there's a continental breakfast every morning. Hillcrest is within walking distance of the Unfinished Church, as well as King's Square—the center of the Town of St. George's—and a 5-minute scooter ride from Tobacco Bay.
Inverurie Executive Suites
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.
The Loren at Pink Beach
Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa
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.
The Oxford
It's the only true bed-and-breakfast in Hamilton, and one imagines that even if this elegant beige two-story town house—just two blocks from the capital's shops, ferries, and buse—had competition, it would still be the best. The 1938 inn is family owned and operated, and each room is individually decorated with pretty matching fabrics and antique and reproduction furniture. Polished cedar floors, a fireplace, and handsome Chippendale chairs lend warmth to the breakfast room, where you can sample scones each morning.
The Paraquet Guest Apartments
For those not picky about room furnishings, Paraquet (pronounced \"parakeet\") provides a centrally located, motel-like, no-frills stay with simple, clean, and unadorned accommodations. At it's price, the biggest draw is its proximity to Elbow Beach, one of the prettiest beaches on the island—a mere 5-minute walk away! The Paraquet Restaurant is reasonably priced as well and—surprise—is an American-style diner, with milkshakes, straws in old jars, and low counter stools. Guests will receive 10% off their meals here. You can also walk to the nearby supermarket and cook for yourself if your are in one of the nine suites with kitchenettes. The website may seem outdated but the built-in booking engine is up-to-date.
Pompano Beach Club
Prince Alfred Terrace
Set in a restored 1840s British naval building, Prince Alfred Terrace offers a distinctive blend of historic character and modern comfort, with sweeping views over the Great Sound. This vacation rental complex—conveniently located within walking distance of the Dockyard and Somerset Village—features 10 three-bedroom apartments, each with a fully equipped kitchen and a private outdoor space for relaxing or dining alfresco. While there’s no beach directly on the property, guests have access to a large dock and waterside terrace, and the quiet sands of Somerset Long Bay are just a short trip away. Apartments are serviced by Crown Point’s vacation concierge team, who can assist with activity bookings, local recommendations, and in-home services like private chefs or spa treatments.
Rosedon Hotel
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.
St. George's Club
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.
The St. Regis Bermuda Resort
Willowbank Resort
Situated on a peninsula overlooking scenic Ely’s Harbor, Willowbank Resort makes a charming, laid-back getaway for families or groups. The manicured grounds invite guests to wander and play, with an outdoor pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, and eight private acres of soft-sand beaches perfect for hours of fun in the gentle surf—keep an eye out for playful sea turtles! Accommodations come in three categories—oceanfront, ocean view, and garden view—all offering modern amenities, complimentary Wi-Fi, and continental breakfast. In-room dining is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Willowbank is considered wheelchair accessible, though it’s best to contact the concierge for details. Best of all, kids stay free!
