Rosewood to Operate Bermuda’s Tucker’s Point Hotel

Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa, the first luxury hotel to be built in Bermuda in more than 40 years, has entered into a letter of intent to bring Rosewood Hotels & Resorts in as its operator. The announcement was made by Ed Trippe, founder and president of Tucker’s Point, paving the way for the property to be re-branded as Rosewood Tucker’s Point.

Tucker’s Point sits on 200 acres of privately-owned parcel of waterfront land in Bermuda, neighboring the estates of Tucker’s Town and offering vistas of Castle Harbour, Harrington Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The property includes the 18-hole Tucker’s Point Golf Course which abuts Bermuda’s Mid Ocean Club, the 88-room Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa, which opened in April 2009, a 10,000-square foot spa, tennis courts and a croquet lawn, fine dining restaurant, the longest private, pink sand beach on-island, and several residential communities.

Among the latter are two residential clubs, the first of which introduced the concept of fractional ownership to Bermuda. Day-to-day operation of the property will remain in the hands of Brian Young, Tucker’s Point’s executive vice president operations, and an erstwhile Rosewood Hotels & Resorts executive (prior managing director of Rosewood at Caneel Bay, A Rosewood Resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and corporate vice president of operations for the parent company in Dallas.) His title will change to managing director. Rosewood Hotels & Resorts is expected to assume management of Tucker’s Point within the next 60 to 90 days.
