The British Colonial Hilton is an older hotel that is right by the cruise ship docks in downtown Nassau. It is well kept and quite beautiful. The pool is fabulous with bed like loungers that are surrounded by white flowing curtains which can be closed for privacy if you want to nap or read a good book. As Hilton Honors members we were upgraded to a corner room and the view was amazing. Watching cruise ships come in and dock right outside your window is surreal. There is a private beach and the water is that perfect blue that cannot be described! We had breakfast each morning in the hotel restaurant. We chose the continental breakfast that was more than enough with many pastries and wonderful fresh fruit. Towels are provided at the beachfront and can be taken off site as well for any adventures you might take. This hotel is close to restaurants and most tour buses pick up here. It is also walking distance from Fish Fry which is the place where all locals go to eat - shanty like restaurants all in a row with great fish and drinks. Downtown shops are also within walking distance but they are mostly T-shirt shops or very high end Cartier type stores. Nothing in the middle price wise. There is a concierge in the hotel lobby who is very helpful. This hotel is somewhat expensive, but so is all of Nassau.

- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
-
Situated on downtown Nassau’s only private beach and the site of Old Fort Nassau, the British Colonial Hilton in the Bahamas has undergone a multi-million renovation throughout all areas of the hotel, and offers a taste of the island’s rich history, along with some of the most modern amenities for both business and vacation travelers. What’s more the hotel is only 25 minutes from Nassau (Lynden Pindling International) Airport. The hotel is a true Bahamian experience with a marble-tiled lobby and is studded with palm trees under a skylight ceiling. There are 288 luxuriously appointed guest rooms with harbor or island views. All rooms are furnished with tasteful decor, complemented by separate shower and bathtub. One-bedroom suites offer a separate living area with sofa bed, and Executive accommodations are also available along with the Executive Lounge, where attentive hotel staff assures that every need and whim will be met during your stay. Recreational activities are convenient and varied for leisure and business travelers alike. A 300-ft long private white sand beach is furnished with lounge chairs and thatched sunshades overlooking the harbor offering a peaceful and secluded access for an ocean swim or a day in the sun. Use of kayaks and snorkeling gear on the beach is complimentary. Bordered on one side by a tropical garden, the hotel's freshwater pool offers harbor views and has an expansive sundeck with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Both the sundeck and beach offer views of cruise ships moored nearby, and of the western tip of Paradise Island, 300 yards offshore. Guests can snooze in hammocks on the lawn adjacent to the pool. The property can also organize trips out reef snorkeling island exploring, boating, golf, tennis and scuba diving. For dining options, Aqua is a fun, casual restaurant serving international favorites with a Caribbean flair, or guests can meet up for cocktails at the Bullion Bar. The new Bullion Bar is the 'place to be seen' for happy hour with great drink specials and tasty snacks.
