A small hotel
on the harbor with a secluded
courtyard and gardens and a wonderful
view of the Great Sound, Waterloo House Bermuda, is only a three-minute
walk from downtown Hamilton,
has an elegant dining room, a bar,
a library, a small freshwater pool
and a sun deck. Rooms are all air-conditioned and meals are
served either in the dining room or on the Harbour Front Terrace.
Once a private home,
the old house has been
enlarged and extensively
remodeled. The
addition of five cottages,
bringing the total
number of guest units
up to 30, and its close
proximity to Hamilton,
has turned it into the
ideal business hotel.
But it’s a great vacation
destination, if you are
not bothered about its lack of beach.
The guest rooms are furnished ainly with English antiques
that impart a somewhat old-world atmosphere.
There are terraced gardens that descend to the harbor wall, and there’s a lawn with tables and beach umbrellas where you can sit, take it easy, and enjoy the view and a drink before dinner. The main dining room is adjacent to the lawn and also offers views across the Great Sound. Warm and charming; could become a habit. Many people book again and again.
Verdict: Again, we've heard good things and bad things about this once top-of-line hotel. The consensus seems to be that it's a bit run-down, whatever that might mean. Our experience is that the hotel is a really charming place, but is currently a bit overpriced.
