Property Information

The Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant is a cigar enthusiast's paradise in downtown New Providence, Nassau. The hotel is famous for more than hospitability; it also produces some of the world's most sought after cigars by owner and legendary cigar maker Enrico Garzaroli. The location at the New Providence city center is close to cultural points of interest such as the Government House and National Art Gallery. Paradise Island, with its gaming and entertainment is just a few miles away. The hotel is a 20 minute drive from Nassau International Airport.
The hotel's peach stucco construction suggests a British colonial origin. The veiled hints of Cuban flair are highly appropriate, given the atmosphere. The hotel's humidor offers a bistro style menu, desserts, cognac and fresh cigars including Graycliff's own. In 2001, the Graycliff Pirate outscored the Cuban Montecristo in blind taste testing, so it's no wonder the Graycliff name is a venerable one in the world of cigars. The on site restaurant features continental and Bahamian cuisine with an extensive wine cellar storing over 250,000 bottles from 15 countries.

The Graycliff Hotel has 15 guestrooms and five suites, each comfortably furnished. Private balconies and patios make excellent venues for smoking and evening lounging. Guestrooms offer high speed Internet access, minibars and refrigerators. The Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant is undeniably the preferred hotel among smoking enthusiasts looking for a sophisticated, authentic accommodation in New Providence.
