Waterlot Inn To Reopen In December 2024
Westend Properties announced that the Waterlot Inn at the Fairmont Southampton will be reopening on December 3, 2024, following the “completion of extensive interior and exterior renovations.”
A spokesperson said “Housed in a building that dates back to 1670, the destination restaurant has always been an island favourite and we are eager to welcome patrons back in a few short months. The hiring process for the reopening is beginning this week.”
“Works at the Waterlot are ongoing,” said Kiaran MacDonald, Reginal Vice President, Caribbean and General Manager of the Fairmont Southampton. “We are very happy with the progress being made and are looking forward to hosting everyone back at the iconic restaurant that’s been an institution in Bermuda for decades.”
The spokesperson said, “Local companies are leading the efforts on the overhaul of the Waterlot. For instance, Bermuda-based Atlantic Mooring Maintenance Ltd. has been responsible for the replacement of the dock; that part of the renovation is almost complete and The Dock establishment is on course to reopen early in 2025.
“Local contractor BCM Construction is taking on the interior renovations. The new furniture, fixtures and equipment [FF&E] have already been ordered. The bathrooms are being completely redone and all of the rooms will benefit from a fresh coat of paint, updated lighting and brand-new carpeting and window treatments.
“Performance Construction Ltd. will be undertaking the necessary work on the exterior of the building, including replacing the roof and repairing the façade. We anticipate that this phase of the project will begin the first week of August.”
“It will be wonderful to have people back at the Waterlot Inn, meeting for delicious food and drink, and taking in the spectacular views of the bay,” MacDonald continued.
Alessandro Colantonio, Chief Investment Officer at Gencom, added, “This is an exciting step in the continuation of the process of reopening the resort. We look forward to sharing further updates on our progress in the weeks ahead.”

“Waterlot Inn at the Fairmont Southampton will be reopening on December 3, 2024″
Just in time for Christmas. It is a fair hike for me to Southampton, but I have always enjoyed Waterlot Inn. I look forward to December and dining at Waterlot Inn again.
Progress, although slow, is still progress. Having Boundary remain open, and now the reopening of Waterlot shows progress. Hopefully we can have tangible, visible progress on the main hotel and things can continue to rebound.
What is rebounding, you said continue to rebound? it is over half way through the year of 2024, this restaurant will open at the end of the year. 2020 was the year of COVID, so 4 years to open a restaurant!
Yes it will be great to have a foreign owned restaurant for Bermudians to spend their money in and the profits to go overseas. It must be staffed by Bermudians. That was the sell for this. I saw no mention on staffing.
the flights are rebounding
tourism arrivals and spending are rebounding
the economy overall is rebounding
i know that may not fit the “narrative” but it is true.
From when we were closed down as a country sure, but we are miles behind where we were.
For myself – Bermuda has not fallen…. it remains more or less perfection intact….
I think the challenge is to “let the people to know” — get those hotel beds absolutely filled with first time and return guests alike – keep that next generation of visitors on tap.
The National Parks in the US did a “18 summers” campaign – showing how families only had so much time to spend with their kids…
So – this brave new world of social media needs to be fully leveraged to draw those visitors.
I see zero advertisements for Bermuda living in the US… if it wasn’t for multi generation tie – we wouldn’t know to come – or why to come – or that Bermuda is a world apart from “other nice climate islands” — and although it competes on that front – it’s the culture – the PEOPLE of Bermuda that keep it a 10 out of 10….. no other country can match…
The Nantucket and MV crowd is an easy starting point – as well as the OCNJ crowd ….. Would love to help if I could on the marketing plan. Bermuda Dept of Tourism – are you there?
This why I truly believe the UBP should never have rebranded. Into the OBA. The OBA has the same challenges but much worse as voters see it as a party that ultimately uses black faces on the frontlines for political gain. The parties biggest secret is failing them every election and that is a form of insanity.
“the UBP should never have rebranded. Into the OBA”
The UBP did NOT rebrand into the OBA. Go somewhere else and tell you lies.
I am sure your paymaster will still pay you to troll somewhere else.
The UBP has rebranded into the UBPOBA. Nothing you say or do will change that. The UBPOBA will not win the next election.
White Washing on here as a Troll Joe Bloggs isn’t going to help you defeat the PLP.
Oba YOU’RE FIRED!!!!! Now change the name again.
