Hotels in Nassau, Bahamas

Originally
a harbour base named Charles Town, NASSAU
is the modern-day face of the Bahamas, visited
by most everyone who comes down this way,
not least for its service as a transport
hub. Though dingy in parts, enough historical
flavour has been preserved to make such
a stop here worthwhile.

Much of this atmosphere comes from its development
during the so-called Loyalist period from 1787
to 1834, when many of the city's finest colonial
buildings were built. Before
this build-up, Nassau had largely been a haven
for pirates, privateers and wreckers, situated
as it was on key shipping routes between Europe
and the West Indies. But it was really the development
of the tourist industry here that put Nassau firmly
on the map. After alternating periods of decline
and prosperity in the nineteenth and early twentieth
century, the spike in trade and construction that
followed World War II led directly to Nassau's
emergence as a global centre for tourism and finance
. By the mid-1950s, with the dredging of the harbour
and the construction of the international airport,
Nassau began to host more than a million visitors
a year, and a decade later, after the construction
of the Paradise Island Bridge and the development
of Cable Beach, the city was receiving twice as
many more. Generally, nightlife in Nassau and
on Cable Beach resembles a charming version of
1920s tourism, with the major resort hotels hosting
a variety of bars and clubs. The biggest "floor
show" in town is Kings and Knights at the Nassau
Beach Hotel, where King Eric and his Knights perform
steel drum music with limbo and fire dancing ,
while the Drumbeat Club on West Bay features Junkanoo
music and limbo as well. Every hotel on Cable
Beach has its own disco , with the most lively
being the Fanta-Z Disco at Sandals .

Also
popular is the bar at Cafe Johnny Canoe
on Cable Beach, and Conch Fritters on Marlborough
Street, across from the British Colonial
Hotel . Major dance clubs include The Zoo
, west of Nassau, the Rock and Roll Café
, on Cable Beach, and the new Bahama Boom
Beach Club , downtown near the wharf. The
Silk Cotton Club on Market Street is famous
for its jazz music, while Cocktails and
Dreams is a quiet nightclub on the beach,
just west of the British Colonial . Smaller
clubs include the Pacific Bar on Victoria
Street, Millie's Place just off Devaux Street
and the Drop Zone , catering to locals and
tourists alike.
