Bermuda's 'Pink Palace' is ready to celebrate its 125th anniversary in style - and everyone is invited to join in.

The Fairmont Hamilton Princess is planning a yearlong celebration from community events and historic tours to weekend packages and restaurant offers.

The hotel has been a Bermuda landmark since 1885 and is rich in history, from the Victorian era and the birth of tourism on the island through World War II and into today.

A search for hotel memorabilia has also been launched as the 2010 celebration will culminate with a grand gala and memorabilia display in October.

Jon Crellin, hotel general manager, said: "This is an exciting time in our history. We have enjoyed a significant investment in our property and on the heels of renovation are able to share our celebration with the people of Bermuda and with visitors alike.

"The festivities are opportunities for everyone to be included in our anniversary and we hope as many people as possible will celebrate with us."

John Harvey, CEO of the Bermuda Hotel Association, said: "For many years, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess has played a leading role in providing outstanding service to our visitors and residents alike and it has a sterling reputation."

People are urged to take everything from silver, china and glassware to photographs and postcards to the hotel's sales office. Those with submissions should include their name and contact details, as well as fun stories or anecdotes about the origin of the piece.
