Hamilton Princess In Top 25 Festive List
The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club has been named in the Top 25 Historic Hotels Worldwide Holiday Traditions and Spectacular Displays list by Historic Hotels Worldwide.
The organization said, “These hotels put up spectacular displays of Christmas or holiday trees, light exhibitions, magnificent gingerbread houses or chocolate sculptures, and greenery.
“Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, A Fairmont Managed Hotel opened in 1885 as an urban oasis in the Bermuda capital city of Hamilton. Built in honour of the British Empire’s Princess Louise after her 1883 visit to Bermuda, the hotel is still known as an ideal getaway that promises to delight guests any time of the year.
“During December, the delights get kicked up a notch at ‘The Pink Palace,’ and there is no shortage of holiday traditions and spectacular displays for guests and visitors to enjoy.”
The article continued: “The annual Christmas tree and gingerbread displays can be found in the hotel lobby, as well as holiday decorations spread across the resort, including the popular and Instagram-worthy Tunnel of Lights in the hotel courtyard.
“This year, the hotel’s gingerbread house – standing at over six feet tall – is joined by a true-to-size gingerbread moongate, one of Bermuda’s most iconic symbols.
“One Hamilton Princess tradition that is unique to the island hotel is the Boxing Day dance performed by a troupe of masked Bermuda Gombey dancers.
“Although other islands share a similar tradition, Gombey dancing was recognized as a uniquely Bermudian art form at a UNESCO Cultural and Conservation Conference.
“During the holiday season, the Gombey dancers perform both on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, as well as during other important events and festivals on the island. From its records, the hotel knows that its Boxing Day Gombey dance performances dates to at least the 1970s.”
