About Nassau Hotels
The hotel industry is one of the oldest and strongest industries in the Bahamas. Since the 1940s, Bahamians have welcomed winter weary travelers to stay at beachfront properties in Nassau and later on Paradise Island. Today, hotel choices vary in size, available amenities and overall attractions. All-inclusive properties like couples-friendly Sandals Royal Bahamian offer a kids-free zone and chain hotel Breezes Bahamas attracts a younger mix of singles and co-eds. The country signature hotel brand is the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, the place where ultimate vacations are made. High-end shopping, spas, upscale dining, golf and celebrity concert series drawn guests by the thousands to the bustling property. Even if you aren’t booked at Atlantis take advantage of a hotel day-pass to experience the massive water park system or spend an afternoon swimming with the dolphins. In 2014, a new development called Baha Mar will revitalize the Cable Beach strip, transforming it into a resort on the same scale as Atlantis. Smaller hotels like the Graycliff pay homage to Nassau’s historic past. The property sits next to Government House (the Bahamian version of the White House) and offers cigar rolling classes and a 250,000 wine cellar at the property's 5-star restaurant. Gems like A Stone’s Throw Away offer a perfect way to experience island simplicity in the big city. With a handful of rooms, the small inn is minutes from the airport and located on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
