26 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.

No other Bermuda resort uses its privileged setting better—the cottage colony's 30 acres on a peninsula near the western end of the island create a sense of meandering expansiveness. Cambridge Beaches has a coat of arms that reads Prima et Optima, or \"First and Best.\" The First? Yes—it's the island's oldest cottage colony, and it leans into this distinction with simple retro styling. The Best? Well, if you want a pervasive sense of tranquility and relaxed refinement, then that's a fact, too. Many large properties on the island are centered on one main beach, but Cambridge has four, including beautiful Long Bay Beach and tiny Turtle Cove (backed by a chic infinity pool). The varying sizes, styles, and locations of the cottages and rooms make for a wide range of prices. Less expensive rooms open onto lawns and gardens, but overlook the same wide ocean. Dine poolside at Pastel, or under the stars at Breezes (reservation required). Cambridge also offers the Ocean Spa, one of the very best in Bermuda.

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.

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.

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.

Dramatically perched above Castle Harbour, the immaculately furnished and spacious rooms at this luxurious escape have picture-perfect water views. Kick back and relax at the spa, which boasts a variety of treatments, a reflecting pool, and an elevated yoga lawn. For something more energetic, try the state-of-the-art fitness center or head to the water-sports center for kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, or boating. Guests can also access the Tucker's Point Beach Club and Tennis Club, as well as the perfectly manicured lawns of the 18-hole golf course.

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.

From its perch atop the cliffs of the south shore, Azura Bermuda is a stunning addition to the island's selection of luxury accommodations. The design is modern yet traditional, and the hotel and residences blend seamlessly into their oceanfront setting, with rooftop gardens and pastel colors that speak to Bermuda's unique flair. Each room is elegantly and minimally appointed, offering a host of amenities to have you feeling relaxed and completely at home. Their on-site, pool-side restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Children under 13 stay free.

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.

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 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.

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).

The ocean is never far from sight at this popular resort best known for its two on-site caves; you can treat yourself to a spa treatment in one, then go for a relaxing swim in the other. The 21-acre hillside resort is pleasant, although it overlooks the airport directly across Castle Harbour, a reminder that you can't stay on this beautiful island forever. The resort is quite commercialized by Bermuda standards, and it can get crowded with package tour groups, as Grotto Bay offers the only all-inclusive supplement option on the island. The beach is small, but you also have the resort pool, next to an outdoor restaurant, hot tub, and children's playground. Kids can watch fish being fed from a small lagoon off the beach (an inlet that feeds the caves) and try out the waterslide for size. For adults, sightseeing, scuba diving, and snorkeling cruises depart regularly from the on-site deepwater dock.

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.

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.

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. 

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, which is passionately run by an American family, understands its customers—and those customers return year after year for the casual atmosphere and beachfront location. The suites and townhouses are dressed in a simple coastal style. A dining room with two-story windows overlooking the ocean makes it one of the most dramatic dining spots on the island; even the spa and the game room offer postcard-worthy views. Of the three hot tubs, two enjoy a privileged cliffside perch overlooking the beach. Take advantage of the water sports equipment, paddleboards, and glass-bottom kayaks available for rent, and lose yourself in the beauty of the crystal-clear, shallow water. Pompano follows the Modified American Plan (MAP), which includes full breakfast and a five-course dinner each day.

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.

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.

The St. Regis Bermuda Resort takes full advantage of the incredible views of the sparkling turquoise ocean overlooking St. Catherine's Beach from every angle as you enter the property—most notably through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Once inside the hotel, from the iconic scent to the luxe interior design, there’s a feeling of entering a grand home. Each of the 120 rooms have either a full or partial ocean view, with the west-facing accommodations taking in part of the updated golf course and being treated to the splendor of a Bermuda sunset. Each room is appointed with luxurious fittings and a centerpiece bathtub for taking in the views while you enjoy serious relaxation. The resort also benefits from being mere steps away from the beach, where lounge chairs and umbrellas are available along with icy cold cocktails. There are two pools on the property, both overlooking the beach and one shallower to accommodate younger guests. The restaurant serves Latin-inspired dishes at lunch and in the evening pivots to become the iconic BLT Steak NY, where you can indulge in a 28-day, dry-aged, 36-ounce porterhouse steak. But it's the St. Regis Bar that is the standout here. An incredible mural inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, said to have been inspired by the shipwreck that led to the first settlement on the island, has been rendered in the many blues reflected in the ocean, seen from the windows opposite, and hangs over the bar where the cocktails include house-made syrups and bitters. The resort also features a spa, fitness center, and children's center. 

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!
