Dating to 1885, the hotel embodies Bermuda`s history as a vacation destination—all chronicled on a wall with photographs and notes—and continues to serve as the island`s "Grande Dame" social center, located on 400 yards of harborfront. The hotel`s storied history includes service during World War II as the Allies` Atlantic intelligence center, housing 1,200 agents known as the Princess Spies. A $25-million renovation completed in 2002 refreshed the hotel without affecting its colonial style.

Although not on a beach, the Fairmont features two 90-by-35-foot pools, one freshwater and the other saltwater, surrounded by terra-cotta sun-decks furnished with lounge chairs. A lighted concrete path with teak deck chairs runs 400 yards along the harbor. From here, guests take a complimentary shuttle boat 25 minutes across the harbor to a companion resort, the Fairmont Southampton, where they enjoy access to a private beach; an 18-hole, par-three executive golf course; a 30,000-square-foot health-and-beauty spa featuring a large indoor pool and spacious spa tubs on ocean-view sun-decks; and nine restaurants, including one in a house dating from the mid-17th century.

Harbor-side alfresco dining is featured at Harley`s Restaurant and Terrace, where prime aged beef and breakfast buffets are available. Afternoon tea is served at Heritage Court, while unique butler service is available for candlelight dinners on guestroom terraces. The fitness center offers state of the art fitness equipment, and two saunas. The adjoining Inverurie Day Spa showcases such indulgences as the sun lover facial, an oxygenating treatment that uses handmade stone crop masques and licorice serum to tone and heal sun-damaged skin. The bed of roses facial melds hand-crushed petals from two dozen Bulgarian roses, rosehips and carrot vitamin treatments to exfoliate, treat and balance.

Complimentary Ferry Service: Private Complimentary Ferry Service to The Fairmont Southampton Princess and Dockyard - Summer season only. (Weather permitting/schedule varies according to season).
