British Colonial Hilton
Bahamas vacation
A favourite Nassau Bahamas vacation landmark setting the standards of hospitality in Nassau since 1901, the hotel reopened as the British Colonial Hilton, Nassau in October 1999. Hilton's 18-month, $68-million restoration converted the timeless classic into a thoroughly modern luxury Bahamas hotel destination. At the same time, the renovation preserved the hotel's historic resonance and enhanced its tropical charm. View our Bahamas hotel packages.
Today's British Colonial Hilton claims the only private beach at the city's center. An ideal home base for Bahamas vacation, it offers not only the beach and a freshwater pool but lush tropical gardens, a full fitness center, and an on-site scuba-diving and snorkeling facility.
The city itself has been reborn in recent years, due to millions of dollars in civic upgrades. The spruced-up Old World-style plaza – flanked by nineteenth-century parliament buildings – brings a new sense of vibrancy to a downtown that still employs horse-drawn surreys and directs traffic with bobbies in trim white jackets and colorful pith helmets.
Of course Nassau still boasts the other attractions that make it one of the world’s best vacation destinations: a well-preserved history, lively nightlife, great shopping, and amazing beaches. From the Hilton, guests can walk to duty-free shops, the Bay Street Straw Market, and Government House. A five-minute taxi ride leads to championship golf courses, two world-class casinos, and unlimited water sports.
