The intimate Graycliff Hotel blends refined, old-world flavor with distinctly modern conveniences. This former private home, now with 20 guest rooms and suites, preserves the glamour of 18th-century British Colonial style. Rooms are decorated in rich woods and luxurious fabrics and are set among lush courtyards with ponds and fountains. The hotel boasts several amenities and a host of legendary guests including Sir Winston Churchill and the Beatles.

Next door to Government House and only minutes away from Nassau's white sand beaches, the Graycliff is a quiet, relaxing retreat. A pioneer of luxury in this section of the world, the Graycliff has the distinction of having the first swimming pool and the first five-star restaurant in the Caribbean.

There is a large Jacuzzi at the hotel's full-service spa and beauty salon, which offers massages, facials, hairstyling, manicures and more. The hotel's gym has free weights, weight machines and cardiovascular equipment, and a personal trainer is available on request.

For Wine and Cigar Aficionados

The Graycliff's collection of 250,000 bottles has earned it a place among the world's largest wine cellars. The five-star Graycliff Restaurant offers gourmet dining for lunch (served Monday through Friday to the public; daily to house guests) as well as dinner (breakfast is served only to house guests). Dining can be arranged in the private dining room or in the wine cellar. Business meetings and special events for up to 300 guests offer a twist on the traditional.

The hotel's own Graycliff Cigar Company produces three brands of award-winning cigars (nine blends) on site. For cigar aficionados who wish to learn something new on vacation, cigar rolling lessons are available by appointment.
