Owners of the St Regis hotel and a representative of their proposed casino operator had meetings last week that were described as “frank and extremely useful”, a government spokesman said tonight.

They met the Bermuda Gaming Commission on Friday, followed by talks with David Burt and Vance Campbell, the Minister of Tourism.

Mr Campbell said: “The St Regis Hotel is a valuable addition to Bermuda’s tourism product and the Government enjoys a constructive working relationship with the owners.”

He added: “The St Regis team had met earlier that day with the Bermuda Gaming Commission and in addition to an overview of that discussion, it was an opportunity to hear from them on the hotel’s operations and some additional thoughts on the coming season.”
