White Sands Hotel Submits New Suite Plans

January 21, 2023

The White Sands hotel in Paget has submitted a planning application laying out plans to convert the existing West Building from hotel rooms to hotel suites, renovate the pool area and more.

The listing said, “Proposed conversion of existing West Building from 22 hotel rooms to 8 hotel suites, demolish and replace the remaining 18 hotel rooms and other facilities with 6 hotel suites, [Total of 14 suites on-site], renovate pool pavilion and redesign pool area, landscaping and additional guest parking with improved guest and vehicular access [Retain existing car parking].”

The application added, “We feel that our proposal is good one for various reasons:-

  • Good for Bermuda because this site is to be redeveloped as an all-suite boutique hotel and will add much needed new suites to the tourist inventory.
  • Good for the neighbourhood for many reasons, and also improve the amenity: – [a] All of the derelict structures on the site will be renovated or demolished. [b] Replacing 40 rooms with 14 suites reduces the maximum guest total from 80 to 53.
  • The new development will have about 30% more greenspace than currently exists.
  • The total building coverage will be reduced by about 20% of the existing.
  • The total non-building hard surface area will be reduced by about 10% of the existing.
  • 14 Twizzy and 16 cycle parking bays are to be on-site, rather than utilizing the street.
  • The pool area will be attractively and completely redesigned.
  • The restaurant will be removed; this will assist in reduction of traffic and noise.
  • The added roadside landscaping will make the site much more attractive to a passerby.”
