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.

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.
