Sophisticated, comfortable, classically Bermudian accommodations await any traveler at the Oxford House, the only purpose-built guest house on the entire island. For over three-quarters of a century, this property has been welcoming business and vacation travelers from all over the globe and it is easy to see why. 

Location, Location, Location

Just 150 yards from Hamilton’s stunning waterfront and ferry terminal, the Oxford House is ideally situated for work, pleasure, shopping, or all three. Hamilton is an exceptionally walkable small city, and its famous Front Street shopping district is just three blocks from the 12 beautiful units at the Oxford House. Also nearby is the burgeoning restaurant scene on Bermudiana Road, with a remarkable abundance of choices just one block away.

Each day at the Oxford House begins with a sumptuous breakfast, just one of many ways in which owners James and Ann Smith evidence their pride of ownership. After a full day of work or pleasure, guests can choose from a wine bar, Italian restaurant, tapas bar, or lobster-specialty restaurant for lunch or dinner, each within one block of the Oxford House. The property is also an enclave among many of the island’s premier international businesses, another aspect of its location that further distinguishes this premier property.

Unique Aspects of the Property

Each unit of the Oxford House is tastefully appointed and beautifully furnished, with the intention to makes guests feel as though they are staying in their own home. Virtually all guests feel precisely this way, thanks to the unparalleled attention to detail and accommodating, professional staff. For those who like to travel and feel at home when they do, the Oxford House is the place for you.

Designed with unmatched attention to detail, the entrance includes a breathtaking spiral staircase featuring Bermuda cedar for which the island is famous, leading to second-floor rooms and a common sitting area and a small balcony that overlooks a charming section of downtown Hamilton. The first floor features guest accommodations and a gorgeous living room-styled area in which guests are served breakfast each morning, which is substantively more than the mundane continental breakfast served in lesser establishments.

The Oxford House Experience

Guesthouses that stand the test of time combine beautiful accommodations with an indefinable yet undeniable sense of home for all guests. It is certainly no accident that the Oxford House has been thriving for so many years, with no signs of slowing down and a guest register booked months in advance. This is one of those places that keeps travelers coming back again and again, whether as a business guest or for an event happening in this beautiful, subtropical island paradise.

Bermuda has been drawing people since its discovery in 1609 with a combination of beauty and location that is in many ways unmatched anywhere. The Oxford House features and accentuates the best things about Bermuda, and the decision to choose this property for any travel purpose is indeed a wise one.
