Locations of hotels

Introduction

Hotels - in alphabetical order - are shown below. Some have their own private beach (unlike in the Caribbean 900 miles south where all beaches are public) or private part of a beach, gardens and pools, other luxury facilities, sports, shops, beauty salon, etc.. Most have off-season lower rates from November to March. Some are on or close to Bermuda's public sector bus or ferry routes. They have been licensed but not graded by the Bermuda Government's Ministry of Tourism and Bermuda Tourism Authority. Some also offer residential condominiums on their properties. Many resort hotels operate the American Plan (AP), in which the cost of breakfast and dinner are included in the cost of a room but not drinks. Others have the European Plan for only the room, with guests making their own arrangements for meals. Presently, only one resort, Grotto Bay, offers All-Inclusive. It includes, costing from $114 a day per person as an optional extra, three meals, alcoholic drinks, on-site water sports sports, entertainment, public transportation. No hotels are adults-only. None include Butler Service.

• Bermuda's official currency. The Bermuda Dollar is fixed to the US Dollar. Thus the US dollar is accepted everywhere at par. British Pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Euros and other currencies should not be brought as they cannot be used. Most major international credit cards will be accepted from visitors, but overseas debit cards, even in the USA, cannot be used in Bermuda. Most if not all Bermuda places to stay, stores and restaurants will no longer accept traveler's checks, so they should not be bought for your Bermuda visit. 

• Internet, WIFI and Links to and from this website. Most hotels and other guest properties in Bermuda have Internet/WIFI, free to registered guests during their stay.  Why don't we link to most of them? We will gladly create la non-exclusive link to them as a Bermuda resource when they create a similar link to us.

• Guest hotel or similar occupancy and departure taxes and gratuities (tips) payable by tourists.  Paid to the Bermuda Government unless otherwise noted.

• Bermuda Government Hotel (etc.) Occupancy Tax. 7.25% of room rate. Since April 2016. Some properties may charge 9.75% which may include the Tourism Guest Fee shown below.
• Some high-end hotels, etc will also charge a Resort Fee which can be $15 per night or higher. 
• An Energy surcharge may imposed by some hotels or guest houses. Not paid to the Bermuda Government
• Service/Tipping charge/gratuities. Before guests give voluntary gratuities after staying at hotels etc or eating at hotel or other restaurants they should know that in Bermuda most hotels restaurants, bars, etc charge an automatic (involuntary) 17% service charge on top of billings. Guests should be aware of this to avoid also paying it voluntarily. Mandatory gratuities in most Bermuda hotels, etc. are governed by the Collective Agreement between the Hotel Employers of Bermuda and the Hotel Division of the Bermuda Industrial Union. Some hotels charge a fixed daily dollar amount and others charge a percentage of the guest bill, often about 17%. The gratuities are shared between hotel etc. members of staff including housekeeping, dining room, kitchen and conventions. Not knowing this, many guests pay gratuities not once but more often.
• Aircraft/Airport Passenger Departure Tax: Included in most airline tickets. $75 per person, was $30 before March 31, 2015, raised again in August 2015. No longer under the authority of the Bermuda Tax Commissioner but payable to Bermuda Skyport Corporation Ltd, a government quango.
• Cruise ships Passenger Departure Tax. Included in most cruise ship tickets.  For ships that dock in Hamilton or St. George's, from $20 per passenger to a maximum of $60 for each 24 hour period the ship is in Bermuda in high season April 1-October 31. For ships that dock in Dockyard April 1-October 31 $25 per passenger for each 24 hour period subject to a maximum of $75. No charge for ships visiting at other times. Applicable to passengers only, not payable by or on behalf of officers and crew of the ship. Administered by the Bermuda Tourism Authority under the Bermuda Tourism Authority Act 2013.
• Cruise ship Passenger Cabin Tax. Included in most cruise ship tickets. From $14 per passenger May 1-August 31.
• Cruise ship operators gratuity. Varies from ship to ship. Once, this was voluntary, passengers could give what they thought was fair, based on service. Now an increasing number of passengers are being automatically billed 15-18% on top of their ticket prices before they leave the ship. Not paid to the Bermuda Government.

• Fractionally owned units. Some hotels have them. Usually a condominium or similar in a separate building or buildings on the hotel grounds. Fractionally owned means buyers share ownership in a private residence club (PRC). When a unit is purchased the owners can select the dates they will be residing there, but can also use the unit whenever it is free. Ownership at a luxury fractional development such as this is the only feasible way in Bermuda for foreigners to acquire local real estate, due to a government policy that severely restricts, to only the most expensive, the amount and type of local real estate that can be sold to non-Bermudians. Because of their affiliations with hotel properties, PRCs are not affected by these regulations.

• Gas station attendants. Bermuda has no self-serve gas stations, all have attendants who will expect a minimum $2 gratuity or tip to full up a scooter or moped. Not paid to the Bermuda Government.
• Large Ship Infrastructure Tax. Charged to the owner, operator or agent of visiting ship over a certain size. $22 per passenger, April 1-October 31, not at other times.
• Taxi operators. They will expect a gratuity or tip of 15% in addition to their basic cost, especially when they lift heavy luggage. They will also expect lunch if on an all-day tour. Not paid to the Bermuda Government.
• Timesharing tax. Two types. Timesharing Services Tax and Occupancy Tax. Timesharing Services Tax, Charged on the managing agent of a timesharing property as a percentage of the membership and maintenance fees charged to clients for operational and maintenance costs of the timesharing unit. 5%, payable on a monthly basis. Timesharing Occupancy Tax. Charged to the developing owner of a timesharing property as a percentage of the purchase price of each timesharing interval. The tax is chargeable on the initial purchase and the resale of each interval. 10%, payable within a specified period of the sale/resale of each timesharing interval. 
• Tourism Guest Fee. Hotels, guest houses, etc. 2.5% of guests' billing.
• Yacht Arrival Tax. $35 per arriving person. 
• Total tourism taxes. Bermuda charges the highest tourism taxes in the world.

Disabled visitors access. Note that USA ADA disability standards do not apply in Bermuda. Here, because there are no such legally required disability protections or minimum standards required by Bermuda's Ministry of Tourism or the public/private sector Bermuda Tourism Authority what constitutes a disabled-friendly room can be interpreted differently. Disabled visitors using wheelchairs and the mobility-impaired should ask before they book for  details of disabled-friendly rooms such as overall room size (many disabled or mobility-impaired guests need somewhat bigger rooms); room door and bathroom door width, does the bathroom have a wet-room shower or only a shower in a bathtub over which guests have to step, is the room on the ground (first) floor or higher in which case is there an elevator nearby and what is the elevator emergency policy for disabled guests.

This historic hotel is the oldest in Bermuda, a landmark. It first opened on January 1,1885,  shortly after the successful opening of the Hamilton Hotel (destroyed by fire in the 1950s), Bermuda's first big hotel. It began life as the Pembroke Hotel. Harley Trott, a leading businessman of the time, saw opportunity and had the new hotel built to provide a winter haven. The hotel opened two years after Her Royal Highness Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, Duchess of Argyle, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, visited Bermuda and called it "a place of eternal spring." Married in 1871, her husband was the Marquis of Lorne from Scotland (later the 9th Duke of Argyle) and Governor General of Canada. The hotel was-re named “The Princess” in her honour. She became a frequent visitor in the 1880s, to escape the cold of Canada. She was Bermuda's first official tourist of Royal blood and an accomplished artist in water colors and oils. Because of her appreciation of the military, the Guard of Honor it provided for her wedding and the artwork she did for it, one of Scotland's most famous British Army units to serve in Bermuda, The Argyllshire Regiment, was renamed to honor her. It carried her insignia for many years in its own - and served in Bermuda for two years under the name in the late 1920s - before it became The Argyllshire Highlanders.

The property is a resurrection, reconstruction and reconstitution of the famous Castle Harbour Hotel, which opened in 1931 and closed in 1999. It was a landmark,  planned by the (British) Furness Withy of the UK shipping organization in 1923 and first opened on November 1, 1932. Furness Withy then operated the Queen of Bermuda and Ocean Monarch cruise ships to Bermuda from the USA until the 1970s. It  built both the original Castle Harbour Hotel and the Mid Ocean Club, on land controversially compulsorily acquired. After World War 2 Furness Withy lost interest in this real estate. The property and extensive land were then bought by Bermuda-based Bermuda Properties Ltd (BPL), originally headed and owned by Juan Trippe, founder of Pan American World Airways. It was a direct result of his interest in Bermuda after Pan American flew between Bermuda and New York from 1937. His son, Ed Trippe, later assumed control. The property later became the Marriott-operated Castle Harbour Hotel. After Marriott left, the original premises and their later Marriott-inspired improvements and modifications were demolished and a brand-new hotel was built on the site.  It was opened in April 17, 2009 by Bermuda residents and film stars Michael Douglas (his mother was Bermudian, from a prominent local family, his father was Kirk Douglas) and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, with then-Premier Ewart Brown, as the first new hotel to be constructed in Bermuda for 37 years. In May 2017 it was purchased by an affiliate of Gencom, a Miami, Florida firm that owns and develops prized hospitality and residential real estate around the world. The resort remains under the management of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, which has done so since 2011.
