4* British Colonial Hilton
Description / Location
Located on the site of Fort Nassau, built in 1695 to guard against pirates, the hotel dates from 1898. (A fire destroyed the original wood building.) For generations, the British Colonial Hilton has been Nassau's social and business center. Featuring a marble lobby under a 1.5-story vaulted, translucent ceiling, the hotel attracts business and leisure travelers. Bordered by a garden, a heated, 55-foot-wide, irregularly shaped pool and a sundeck furnished with cushioned lounge chairs provide year-around swimming/sunbathing. A 75-yard-long private beach furnished with lounge chairs and thatched sunshades fronts the resort. Use of kayaks, snorkeling gear, and floats is complimentary. Sundeck and beach offer views of cruise ships moored nearby and the western tip of Paradise Island 300 yards off shore.
