Named by
Travel and Leisure Magazine as the "most sophisticated jewel of a small hotel
in Bermuda", Waterloo House is an elegant Manor house with surrounding cottages
dating back to 1815. The hotel rests amidst four acres of terraced gardens
right on Hamilton Harbor. It is within walking distance of the heart of the
financial and insurance district in addition to many of the hisotoric and
cultural sites on the island.
Waterloo House, although the perfect location for a tranquil holiday of rest and
relaxation, also offers an ideal base for the business executive traveling
abroad, with its central location close to the heart of the financial and
business community. Modern business conveniences such as WiFi and T-1 access in
all rooms have recently been added. The Alfred Blackburn Smith (ABS) Suite is a
sumptuously
appointed private salon which can accommodate board meetings, seminars, or
forum groups. The room is computer-compatible, has fax and phone service,
presentation equipment including TV and VCR, as well as a private bar, kitchen
and bathroom. Secretarial services on hand and all business needs can be
accommodated when booking the suite. It has the versatility to be turned from a
meeting room into a private dining room for elegant lunch or dinner parties or
formal cocktail receptions. With fine antique furniture, elaborate soft
furnishings and baronial decor, the ABS offers guests the chance to entertain
in total privacy yet in the style of a grand country house.
Waterloo House is known around the world as one of Bermuda's best restaurants
and with its Executive Chef has won countless awards for cuisine both in North
America and Europe. The Poinciana Terrace on the water's edge is the place to
be for al fresco luncheon or romantic candlelight dinners under the stars. In
winter, breakfast and lunch are still enjoyed on the terrace but dinner is a
grand occasion in the magnificent Wellington Room.
A wide variety of sporting activities are
available for guests, such as charter fishing, water skiing, windsurfing,
swimming, either in the harbour or the fresh water pool. There is a small
fitness center in the hotel. Waterloo boasts its own private launch. Romantic
secluded picnics on many of the uninhabited and unspoiled islands surrounding
Bermuda's shoreline or harbour cruises and cocktail cruises are available.
Guests are also encouraged to enjoy all the facilities of Waterloo House's
sister properties, Horizons and Cottages, and the exclusive private member's
club, the Coral Beach and Tennis Club. Coral Beach possesses the finest private
beach on the island, as well as superb flood lit championship tennis courts,
croquet, putting, squash, bowls, and a fully equipped fitness center. Golf can
be arranged at all of the major golf clubs on the island.
Whether
visiting Bermuda for business or pleasure, Waterloo House is an oasis of charm
and tranquility, where the caring staff have earned the reputation of giving
the highest standard of personal service and attention to your every need. As
the New York Times said of Waterloo House, "It's a heavenly world apart".
