About Hamilton Princess & Beach Club
Hamilton Princess & Beach Club is a large Fairmont-managed hotel on Hamilton Harbour, a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Front Street. The pink landmark first opened in 1885 and has hosted visitors to Bermuda for about 140 years.
What sets it apart is the mix of city and beach: you stay in Bermuda’s capital and ride a free shuttle to a private beach club on the South Shore. It suits families, business travelers and anyone who wants Hamilton on the doorstep.
