Bermuda's Elbow Beach Completes Multi-Million Dollar Refurbishment

The suites and rooms have been enhanced with the addition of advanced in-room entertainment systems with 200 channels of complimentary high-definition television and music programming, luxurious soft furnishings, iPod docking stations, personal espresso machines and upgraded bathroom facilities.

The works also include enhancements to the public areas within the main building, poolside area, beachfront, meeting rooms and roadways. The main building now features a modernised reception area; 'The Library', a new recreation lounge with complimentary refreshment station; the newly renovated business centre and gift shop; the upgraded fitness room and new day-use suites. The beauty salon, three banqueting suites, the Spa, and Kid's Club also continue to operate in the main building. The half-mile private pink sand beachfront has been upgraded with new sun loungers and private cabana tents. Ocean-side spa therapies will be offered at the new Spa Beach Pavilion from 1 June.

The dining and entertainment options at Elbow Beach have been restyled to reflect the repositioning of the resort. Lido, the resort's premier dining experience with spectacular ocean views, now offers breakfast each morning and gourmet Mediterranean cuisine in the evening. A new Executive Chef with extensive experience at five-star luxury resorts around the world, Guido Brambilla, has been appointed at Lido, along with a number of new kitchen staff. The DEEP Lounge and Nightclub have been revamped as a sophisticated bar in which to enjoy live entertainment.

In addition, Sea Breeze continues to operate as a chic open-air tapas and sushi lounge, with a new open-air island bar opening later this month; Mickey's 'On-the-Beach' Bistro has reopened for the 2010 summer season to offer casual dining served from an open kitchen; Blue Point Poolside Restaurant offers al fresco dining overlooking the ocean and the hotel's in-room dining service presents a wide range of options.

The business facilities at Elbow Beach have been strengthened with transformation of the free-standing Bermuda Room into a luxurious meeting and banqueting venue for groups, weddings and social functions.

The physical enhancements at Elbow Beach are complimented by a heightened and more personal level of service resulting from a significant investment in the IT infrastructure and staff training to ensure guests are catered to at the highest standard.

The completion of the USD 5.5 million refurbishment and repositioning of Elbow Beach, Bermuda as a more intimate resort, follows the closure of the hotel's 101-year-old main building guestrooms and the Seahorse Grill in November 2009. The owner’s renovation program for the historic main building remains in development.
