Implosion of the Club Med Hotel in Bermuda

After the dust settled, trucks moved in to clear away the debris. Prior to closing in 1988, the 300-room hotel had been a Holiday Inn, a Loews, and finally a Club Med. Now that the site has been cleared, the new Park Hyatt can start taking shape on one of Bermuda's best beaches. Plans call for a luxury hotel with 100 rooms and suites, a 12,000 square-foot spa and fitness center, a beach club, swimming pools, tennis courts, five restaurants and bars, and extensive meeting and function space. The hotel will also have an 18-hole Nick Faldo Signature golf course (built on the site of the existing St. George's Golf Club), 140 Park Hyatt-branded condominium, and 40 Hyatt Residence Club units.
