THE CROWN & ANCHOR AT Hamilton Princess & Beach Club

An 1883 visit from Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise, inspired the “Princess” part of the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club's name. Accordingly, the hotel serves a high tea fit for today's royalty in its Crown & Anchor restaurant. In a modern, ocean-view setting with a crisp, nautical vibe, enjoy delectable breads, scones and pastries, all homemade in the hotel's pastry shop. It's an impressive experience with servers bring out tiered, three-foot-high silver trays alongside steaming pots of English tea in fine Belgian china kettles. Bring the kids – there’s a special children’s menu with peanut butter, tuna salad and cheese sandwiches.
