After an $11 million renovation, the Fairmont Hamilton Princess is set to debut its newly renovated wing, Bermudiana House.

Formerly known as the Bay Wing, Bermudiana House will open on June 9 and boasts 113 luxurious guestrooms, all complete with wireless Internet access, 37 in flat screen televisions and rain-style showerheads.

The wing was originally built in 1968, and General Manager Jon Crellin said: "We were definitely ready for some upgrades."

Hotel Manager Allan Trew even said that he was so embarrassed by the old rooms that he used to tell guests they were occupied so they would not look inside. The new rooms have the look of a luxury home, each with a marble entryway and new patio furniture, replacing the white plastic with classic brown terrace furniture.

Bermudiana House even has its own concierge, which Mr. Crellin believes will help add to the luxurious personal touches that are present everywhere in the wing. With each room estimated at costing $100,000 each in renovations, the guest rooms are both elegant and comfortable with large workspaces and an extended bathroom.

Mr. Crellin said the bathroom wall was knocked out and two more feet were added to ensure that guests had more space.

Mr. Crellin added: "The new rooms will be designed with a residential feeling so that both leisure and business guests can enjoy long stays with us."

Some rooms come with king sized beds for business trips and some can adjoin to rooms with two double beds for families.

Mr. Crellin said: "We try to satisfy every core group."

The new guest rooms each feature MP3 docking stations, fully stocked minibars and custom made furnishings, which are lavish additions to the traditional upgraded Bermudian decor.

To add to the Bermudian feel, each room has four pieces of local art and an amazing garden or harbour view.

The name Bermudiana House was chosen as part of a local competition where entrants were asked to submit a name which would reflect a Bermudian theme.

Of the 400 entries that were received, Bermudiana House was chosen. Mr. Crellin said: "Since the Fairmont Hamilton Princess is such a strong fixture in the community, the public was asked to help in renaming the wing."

"We like to embrace the local community as much as we can," Mr. Crellin said.

With over 100 people working around the clock, Mr. Crellin believes that other hotels will begin upgrades as well. "It's a pretty competitive business," he said.

The Fairmont Hamilton Princess is not stopping renovations at Bermudiana House.

The entire restoration process of the hotel is budgeted at $20 million and will include enhancing the Gazebo, lobby and Fairmont Gold and Pool Wings.
