The Royal Palms

Just a 10-minute walk from downtown Hamilton, this small, quiet hotel consists of two 19th-century buildings surrounded by tropical gardens and a secluded pool. The colonial-style main house has a pink exterior with white shutters and a wraparound porch, which provides views of the gardens’ bougainvillea and banana trees. Although the 32 guest rooms are individually decorated, most include large windows, all-white linens, and subtle tropical prints. A complimentary breakfast buffet is available daily in the bright, glass-walled breakfast room, while the acclaimed Ascots Restaurant serves Mediterranean, Bermudian, and international cuisine in a dining room accented with colorful contemporary paintings.
