On the eastern coast of Barbados, overlooking a picturesque bay, a proud heritage seamlessly blends with modern chic at The Atlantis Hotel and Restaurant.<\/p>\n

Atlantis was one of the very first hotels<\/strong> to be built in this part of the island, with construction taking place in the 1880s. This timely coincided with the opening of a railway service<\/strong> linking the capital city Bridgetown to the east coast, with the train line passing just at the doorstep of the hotel and ending his outbound journey at\u00a0Belleplaine about 5 miles north of Atlantis. At the modern Atlantis Hotel, a prominent sign reminds guests of this historic link. A hike along the old train line<\/strong> is a wonderful way to step back in time and to appreciate the coastal beauty of the area.<\/p>\n

\"Atlantis<\/p>\n

The name “Atlantis” is possibly derived from the hotel’s location overlooking Tent Bay<\/strong>, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the shores of Barbados. This may have either inspired thoughts of the mythical Atlantis island or be a corruption of the word Atlantic.<\/p>\n

For much of its existence Atlantis Hotel had an entirely rustic feel<\/strong>; that changed with a\u00a0full refurbishment of the property in 2009, a renovation that beautifully modernized the resort<\/strong> without diminishing its historic character and charm. “Rustic chic”<\/strong> perfectly describes this place, where the seclusion of its location, the local character of the fishing village, elegant design, and modern amenities all blend in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

The accommodation<\/strong> at Atlantis retains a historic feel<\/strong> with traditional\u00a0four poster beds, mahogany furniture, and\u00a0luxury linens.\u00a0Complimentary WiFi, flat screen TVs, air-conditioning, and iPod docking stations make today’s guests feel right at home.<\/p>\n

\"Accommodation<\/p>\n

One of the most delightful aspects of a stay or visit to Atlantis Hotel is the incredible restaurant, with\u00a0an open-air terrace<\/strong> overlooking the sea! The\u00a0restaurant<\/strong> is a renowned for its Sunday and Wednesday buffets, serving up delicious local and Caribbean dishes<\/strong>. As a hotel guest you can also enjoy delicious breakfasts and a la carte lunches and dinners throughout the week.<\/p>\n

\"Atlantis<\/p>\n

Atlantis Hotel deservedly holds a special place<\/strong> in the hearts of Barbadians and its guests. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy\u00a0seaside sophistication<\/strong> and a truly unique stay<\/strong> on the island.<\/p>\n
