Having just undergone a $50 million restoration, British Colonial Nassau is more than a luxurious Caribbean stay—it’s a beautifully reimagined landmark that captures the spirit of a bygone era. Originally built in 1901 on the historic site of Fort Nassau, the hotel has long stood as a symbol of Bahamian elegance, welcoming everyone from royalty and statesmen to celebrities and travelers in search of sun and history.
The hotel offers a seamless blend of colonial charm and modern comfort and spacious, elegantly appointed rooms overlooking either the glistening harbor or the hotel’s private beach, an exclusive stretch of sand where guests can relax just steps from downtown Nassau. The oceanfront freshwater pools offer a tranquil escape, while the full-service fitness center ensures that wellness remains part of the journey.
Dining at British Colonial Nassau is an experience in itself, with several options to choose from. Woodes Rogers Tavern, named after the legendary privateer and first Royal Governor of the Bahamas, evokes the feel of a colonial gathering place, complete with warm wood tones, historic accents, and a menu that celebrates island flavors with refined technique. Guests can expect fresh seafood, Caribbean-spiced mains, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails that bring the spirit of the Bahamas to life. For something more contemporary, Sakana Noodle and Sushi Bar offers a vibrant contrast—serving artfully plated sushi, steaming ramen bowls, and Asian-inspired small plates in a sleek, waterfront setting perfect for a sunset meal or casual evening with friends.
Beyond the hotel’s grounds, guests are perfectly placed to explore Nassau’s rich cultural tapestry. The Queen’s Staircase, Parliament Square, and Straw Market are all just a short walk away, offering a glimpse into the island’s colonial past and present-day pulse.
