British Colonial hotel to reopen this year
Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation Chester Cooper said yesterday the British Colonial hotel in downtown Nassau will reopen this year.
“I met with the owners this week,” Cooper said.
“They intend to invest in the property significantly to attract a new flag. They understand that this is an iconic property for the tourism industry and for Bay Street and for Bahamians.”
Cooper, who was addressing a meeting of the Rotary Club of West Nassau, declined to comment on whether the hotel was changing ownership.
“I can simply tell you that the owners are committed to ensuring that this property reopens,” he said.
