Built as the grand dame of Nassau hotels in the early 1900s, the British Colonial Hilton Nassau still holds its reign as a Bahamian landmark for both style and comfort. Accented with gleaming marble floors and arched sky-lighted ceilings, the building’s design exemplifies colonial Nassau elegance. Now, after a $17 million refurbishment in the summer of 2009, the Hilton continues to offer plush, upscale accommodations from its central location between the city’s harbour and busy downtown.

The hotel features more than 291 rooms and suites, most with views of the ocean or island. The tastefully appointed, contemporary rooms are accented with sleek mahogany furniture and luxuries such as marble-lined bathrooms. Plenty of modern amenities are in place such as climate control, cable television, in room hi-speed Internet access, pay-per-view movies and video games.

This classic hotel also has a few lesser-known features that may delight and surprise. In addition to its deep-seated colonial past, the British Colonial Hilton Nassau has also made history as the location for two James Bond movies. There is even a “Double-O” suite stocked with James Bond movies and decorated with James Bond posters on the wall.
