The Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel offers superb al fresco dining at Harley's
Restaurant and Harley's
Terrace, located harborside, and the Heritage Court adjacent to the lobby and Japanese Koi pond. One visit to Harley's and guests will know why The Bermudian Magazine awarded it the 'Best of Bermuda Gold Award' in hotel dining. The comfortable yet sophisticated, newly opened Heritage Court is the place to see and be seen and is acclaimed for its Afternoon
Tea, the very best in Bermuda and recently ranked in the top 10 Best Afternoon Teas in the World. H.P.'s
Coffee Shop Pick up a cappuccino and home-baked pastry from our new
coffee shop featuring Seattle's Best
coffee. Located on the lobby level, our
coffee shop offers a tempting selection of pastries and sandwiches from the Princess Oven with your choice of beverage. Candlelight
Dinner Imagine
dinner for two - in the moonlight on your private
patio - sipping bubbly - with your butler in the background. That's the scenario at The Fairmont Hamilton Princess. We have cooked up special delivery menus for you - outside the
room- through In-
Room Dining. A butler sets the scene with candles and all the trimmings on your private
patio overlooking Hamilton Harbor, home to spectacular sunsets. Dining options are offered from the a la carte and seasonal menus available in the
restaurant. Selections from our wine cellar complement the meal and three hours advance notice is required. Available year round through In-
Room Dining. Afternoon
Tea - Heritage Court 'Better to be deprived of food for three days, than
tea for one.' Ancient Chinese Proverb Dating back to the late 1700's, the custom of Afternoon
Tea is recognized throughout the world as being traditionally British. It was further popularized by Queen Victoria during her reign, and by the middle of the 19th Century the custom of 'taking
tea' in the afternoon had become well established, along with a rather complex set of rules and etiquette. One of her daughters, Princess Louise, is the namesake for The Fairmont Hamilton Princess following her visit to Bermuda in 1883. 'Everything we feature - the breads, scones, pastries and sorbet - in our Afternoon
Tea is homemade in our pastry
shop by our Pastry Chef, Serge Leibowitch,' explains Peter Finnegan, Food Beverage Director at The Fairmont Hamilton Princess. 'We are able to create wonderful specialty items that are a one of a kind in Bermuda. For example, we bake a Sesame Seaweed Bread to complement the Lobster Salad and the Rum Cured Salmon is married with a Ginger Bread.' The Fairmont Hamilton Princess offers 14 teas; a variety of loose leaf black teas, green, herbal and fruit teas. John Harney, Master
Tea Blender, has also created a private Princess Bermuda Blend
Tea that is served at the hotel and available for purchase. The 'proper' way of 'taking
tea' is to select from the assorted finger sandwiches. Scones with jam and Devonshire clotted cream are next, followed by a sweet selection of pastries. Afternoon
tea ends with a sorbet - an item unique to The Fairmont Hamilton Princess'
tea. Our Afternoon
Tea was recently voted Top 10 Best Afternoon Teas in the World by the Gostelow Report and Best Afternoon
Tea in the Best of Bermuda Awards. The Heritage Court The design concept for this area takes its cue from the rich architectural tradition of Bermudian ancestral homes and its color palate from the abundant flora and water images of this unique British territory.
Lounge chairs, sofas, quality artwork and antiques create an intimate and elegant, yet informal setting for
cocktails and conversations. During the morning patisseries are featured. To provide a light fare option during the day our menu presents classics like Bermuda Fish Chowder, revivals such as the Princess
Club Sandwich, and newcomers Mini Spiny Lobster Burgers. The Heritage Court provides the perfect stage for Afternoon
Tea at The Princess. A signature event for The Fairmont Hamilton Princess, our afternoon
tea incorporates old English charm with the tropical setting of the island paradise of Bermuda. From the British silver
tea sets and Belgian fine china to the Italian fine woven linen, everything about afternoon
tea spells elegance and luxury. The
Bar offers one of the most extensive collections of fine rums, wines and champagnes by the glass. For martini lovers, we recommend our 'Appletini', recently voted Best Exotic
Cocktail in the Best of Bermuda Awards. Live piano music creates a mood for the early evening and relaxing background for weary travelers. This is the place 'to see and be seen' in Hamilton. Harley's
Restaurant Relish tantalizing dining at Harley's
Restaurant and the finest in prime aged beef. Here, a bright and airy atmosphere serves as the perfect complement to every entree. It's no wonder Harley's
