A to Z: Hotels in Detail

Bermuda offers accommodations ranging from luxurious cottage colonies and resorts overlooking pink sandy beaches, to intimate and quaint residential inns that are set amongst carefully landscaped gardens and flowerbeds. Many tourists prefer to stay in and around Hamilton, but accommodations are also found in Southampton, St. Georges, Paget, and Warwick.

Bed & Breakfasts and Inns

Bed and breakfasts are former homes, transformed into quaint guest rooms for island visitors. They are often beachfront, but include few other amenities. These can be the ultimate choice for a laid back and secluded vacation that incorporates a little bit of pampering as well.

Inns are similar to bed and breakfasts, but are generally more spacious. Inns offer guests access to a kitchenette and possibly a kitchen facility that is shared by multiple guests. Inns can be waterfront or may have on-site swimming pools, and many include breakfast in the price of the room.

Hotels and Resorts

Hotels and resorts come in all sizes on Bermuda. The biggest differences among these accommodations are their size and available amenities. While large hotels and resorts often offer spas and pre-planned activities, smaller hotels offer fewer amenities. These larger amenity-filled hotels may not offer the kind of laid back experience many vacationers expect during an island stay, but others will appreciate the abundance of activities and live entertainment.

Cottages

Cottage colonies are uniquely Bermudian. Here you'll have your own cottage alongside other cottages nestled throughout landscaped grounds. These grounds often include beaches as well. Most of these cottages have kitchenettes. These unique accommodations are a hybrid of rental cottages and luxury hotel suites.

Or, consider this list of properties that offer activities and amenities that make them ideal spots for family vacations.
