A NASSAU ICON - OUR STORY
As a iconic local landmark, British Colonial Nassau has served as a beloved resort in which to holiday in The Bahamas and to gather for impressive events. For nearly a century, the resort has been interwoven into the fabric of Nassau. And to this day, we honor this rich heritage and consider ourselves a proud steward of The Bahamas.

THE HISTORY OF BRITISH COLONIAL
In 1900, Henry M. Flagler financed and built the Colonial Hotel, which opened in 1901. It burned down in 1922, leading to the construction of The New Colonial, opening in 1924. In 1932, Sir Harry Oakes bought it, supposedly on a whim after being asked to leave the hotel for not dressing properly, and renamed it the British Colonial Hotel. He was murdered in 1943 in an unsolved mystery dubbed the "murder of the century."
