Trust Houses Forte (THF) was founded by Charles Forte (1908 –2007). He was a British/Italian caterer and hotelier who founded the leisure and hotels conglomerate that ultimately became Forte Group. After the Second World War, his company became Forte Holdings Ltd. Trust Houses Group Ltd and Forte Holdings merged in 1970 to become Trust Houses Forte.
In 1970, THF purchased the Nassau Beach Hotel. THF sought to create the hotel as a “conference resort.” Early plans include redecorating the rooms, lobby, lounge and restaurant. In addition, they planned to build an additional wing around a relocated pool and patio area.
The hotel finally closed on 4 January 2008 and was demolished in 2012.
