Description:
Now in a kind of nostalgic decay, Graycliff remains the grande dame of downtown Nassau even though she is showing her age. Originally an 18th-century private home reflecting Georgian colonial architecture, it's now an intimate three-story inn with old-fashioned atmosphere. Visiting celebs today head for Paradise Island, but some devotees, especially the older set, still choose Graycliff because it epitomizes the old-world style and grace of Nassau back when the duke and duchess of Windsor were in residence. Beach lovers usually go by taxi to either nearby Goodman's Bay or the Western Esplanade Beach, nearly adjacent to Arawak Cay.
The historic garden rooms in the main house are large and individually decorated with antiques, though the better units are the more modern garden rooms. The Yellow Bird, Hibiscus, and Pool cottages are ideal choices, but the most luxurious accommodation of all is the Mandarino Suite, which sports Asian decor, an oversize bathroom, and a private balcony overlooking the pool.
