The Fairmont Southampton

Resting on the shores of warm and welcoming Bermuda, the Fairmont Southampton is under two hours by plane from most cities in the northeast United States. But convenience is hardly the only reason to choose the resort: from its ultraluxurious guest rooms to the first-class service, Fairmont Southampton turns a business event into a vacation to remember.

The stunning island property holds the distinction of having the largest convention and meeting facilities in Bermuda, and can host gatherings of up to 1,500. But small groups, too, will find themselves well cared for by the experienced staff, who flawlessly facilitate hundreds of meetings each year. Notably, the Fairmont Southampton offers more than a dozen indoor rooms for business affairs, including a regal boardroom and a state-of-the-art multimedia amphitheater, and is equipped to host outdoor events as well.

The Fairmont Southampton is an especially appealing destination for business travelers who wish to make their trip a family affair: while children appreciate the swimming pools and activity center, adults delight in the resort’s Willow Stream spa, the private beach club, as well as exclusive access to championship golf at Riddell’s Bay.

Of course, the resort’s large selection of delectable restaurants thrills guests of all ages. Whether savoring afternoon tea at the Jasmine lounge, fresh seafood at the Ocean Club, sumptuous steaks and chops at the Waterlot Inn, or French cuisine at the esteemed Newport Room, every palate is sure to be pleased.
