The Rosedon Hotel

The Rosedon is a 47-room Bermuda hotel located in a quiet residential area 10 minutes’ walk from Hamilton. The main building, constructed in 1906, and 4 wings surround a heated freshwater pool. The whole complex is nestled in grounds blessed with luscious sub-tropical plants. Almost all the members of staff at this hotel are Bermudian and have an average of 20 years of service under their belts, so the hotel runs extremely smoothly.

The hotel has several room types; all with air conditioning, cable TV, telephone with voice mail, radio, coffee maker, refrigerator, wall safe, iron and board and internet access for your laptop.

Its proximity to Hamilton means it is popular with business visitors. Tourists are not forgotten, though, and a complimentary taxi service to a private South Shore beach is provided. The Rosedon Hotel also continues the Bermudian tradition of serving afternoon tea at 16:00. Light evening meals are served on request but those needing something more substantial can try one of the many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. These include The Harbourfront, Little Venice, L’Oriental, Ristorante Primavera, The Lobster Pot, Portofino Restaurant and the Robin Hood pub.

Full breakfast can be enjoyed in your room, on the patio or poolside. There is a wealth of dining options in nearby Hamilton but light meals can be ordered for lunch and dinner. In the main building are 2 lounges, one with a VCR and large-screen TV where top movies are shown nightly. There is also an honour bar where visitors sign vouchers for the drinks they serve themselves and receive their final bill at check-out. The fact that this system continues to operate certainly says something about the pedigree of this hotel’s guests.

Reader Reviews and Additional Information

IMF :

We got lucky apparently by booking early and getting a room with a nice view of the pool and garden. The room itself was tastefully furnished and had everything we required and the staff were really excellent. One very nice touch was the option of having breakfast served where you wanted eg. by the pool or on your balcony. Highly recommended.

Henry :

A nice reminder of the old colonial days both in the building itself and the old British tradition of serving afternoon tea at 4pm. The staff were excellent and some of the other guests who were regular visitors said some of them had been working there for years. Very nice garden and pool area and well worth a visit.

AL :

The perfect choice if you are doing business in Hamilton as you are near everything but the beach.

Tom :

Great for shopping and eating in Hamilton and also ideal if you want to go anywhere by ferry or bus. Couldn't fault the room service, in fact all the staff were exemplary in this regard. The pool was clean and a good place to relax and the free internet worked fine. All in all a good little place to stay if you don't need to wake up near the beach.

Ben :

Probably more suitable for the business traveller due to its location 10 minutes walk from Hamilton, however they do provide a free shuttle to the beach on the south side. The gardens are beautiful and the staff polite and professional, and you are not short of anything in your room, so I would definitely stay here again.

The Rosedon isn't near any beaches, so is perhaps more suitable for business people. They do provide a free taxi service to Elbow Beach though.
