There's plenty to consider when planning a getaway to Paradise, but for many, the number one item on the list is where to stay. As avid travelers and casual vacationers alike know, choosing the right accommodations is essential. While there are endless all-inclusive resorts and hotels to choose from in Nassau Paradise Island, boutique hotels are becoming increasingly popular with travelers. Often distinguished by their smaller sizes, thoughtful design, attention to detail, and intimate atmosphere, boutique hotels are an excellent alternative for travelers in search of a unique experience.

If you think a stay at a boutique hotel during your time in Nassau Paradise Island is right for you, here are a few spots to keep in mind.

Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant

Built in 1740, Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant is a mansion-turned hotel that offers the perfect amount of intimate, upscale luxury. It features two restaurants and two swimming pools surrounded by lush gardens, while also boasting the third-largest private wine collection in the world. How big, exactly, is that wine collection? Well, the wine cellar houses over 250,000 bottles, including some of the finest wines ever produced!

Graycliff also has its own on-site chocolatier and is known for its namesake fine cigars from the Graycliff Cigar Company. So as you enjoy your stay in this historic oasis in the heart of old Nassau, be sure to partake in cigar rolling lessons and enjoy a tour of the chocolate factory. And if you're a foodie, you'll love the exquisite gastronomical adventures that await at the Caribbean's first 5-star restaurant.

Over the years, Graycliff has hosted some of the biggest names on Earth — from The Beatles to Sir Winston Churchill. So you can rest assured that you'll be treated like royalty during your stay.
