KINGSTON, JAMAICA – Kingston’s most distinguished address for business hospitality is now also home to the city’s newest destination for leisure fun in the sun as the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel has unveiled its new pool, pool bar, and gardens. Fully renovated at a cost exceeding US$1 million, the new facilities extend the venerable hotel’s trademark elegance and style outdoors, bringing a chic, resort aesthetic to the heart of Jamaica’s capital.
“We are thrilled to welcome the world to our all-new urban oasis,” said Nicola Madden-Greig, Group Director of Marketing and Sales. “Here, among lush, tropical landscaping and our expansive, shimmering pool, the hustle and bustle of the city seem a world away. Warm and attentive service, and a myriad of savory drink and dining options at our new and greatly expanded pool bar further make it impossible not to de-stress here.”
Thoughtfully developed with an emphasis on substance as much as style, the new pool facilities at The Jamaica Pegasus feature amenities designed to enhance accessibility for all guests, including those with disabilities. New ramps facilitate wheelchair access to the pool bar, surrounding gardens, and even the pool itself. At the same time, pool depths were decreased to better accommodate families with novice swimmers.
While pool depths may be smaller, the pool bar is much larger. Now four times its original size, the new Jamaica Pegasus pool bar is further enhanced by a covered lounge area with seating for 80.
The pool bar/lounge also offers a delectable menu of gourmet bites and light dishes – salads, sandwiches, jerk and grill specialties, and more. Drink options include a broad selection of premium spirits, beers, wines, and inventive craft cocktails aimed at elevating the mixology scene in Jamaica’s capital.
Rounding out the list of outdoor leisure enhancements, The Gardens at The Pegasus – a Zen Garden has also been expanded. New spaces for meditation, reflection, and yoga have been added, while the hotel’s jogging trail is also newly-upgraded. New swings and benches also now dot the gardens for guests to enjoy the ultimate “me time” peace and tranquility.
“The Jamaica Pegasus has famously been known as the place to see and be seen in Kingston throughout its storied history. Now, with these extensive poolside renovations, that cachet extends to seeing and being seen in sunglasses and swimwear like never before,” noted Mrs. Madden-Greig.
The new Pool Bar and Lounge at The Jamaica Pegasus is open daily from 10:00 am to 11:00 p.m. Both The Gardens at The Pegasus and the Pool Bar & Lounge are available for private events and functions.
