Palm Beach has long lured America's big name social elite, from the Kennedys to the Pulitzers to the Trumps. If you don't have the Jaguar, catch a Palm Tram around the city. Opulent extravagance is the order of the day. But if you can take your eyes off the glittering procession of socialites and the prices at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Spa and in Worth Avenue stores, there are plenty of other sights to be seen. Don't miss Henry Morrison Flagler Museum or the hopping nightlife on Clematis Street.

Beautiful lobby but rooms are really old fashioned and dated for the price you are paying. Seriously in need of a remodel - it’s like being in a 80s Miami condo. There was a bug crawling in our salad when we dined at the Beachfront restaurant and the staff didn’t really seem to give a damn.

Lovely hotel with a friendly staff. Great location! Delicious restaurant! Waling distance to beach and shopping. But... the bathroom could have been cleaner and "grassy" area by the pool needs some maintenance.

I am so blessed to have access to this incredible hotel, thanks to my mother's reciprocal relationship with the property. Whenever I visit her in Palm Beach, we are sure to schedule a day at the Four Seasons. First, can we discuss the private beach?!?!?! Forget forgetting towels, they are there and ready to be used under your personal umbrella-covered chaise lounges. And I never have to worry about beach toys for my daughter because staff brings them to me before I even have to ask for them. And who doesn't love a cool drink on a hot day, brought right to you? And if the beach isn't to your liking, then the pool is a glorious alternative, with noodles and pool toys for the kids. Hitting the beach and pool at the Four Seasons is one of my favorite traditions when visiting Palm Beach!

Surrounded by palm-lined boulevards, our historic hotel is just moments from Worth Avenue and white sandy beaches. Exceptional hospitality and old-world charm showcase sophisticated interiors and beautifully designed rooms and suites. Experience delicious cuisine, creative cocktails and live music in our legendary Leopard Lounge, or indulge in traditional afternoon tea.
My daughter and I enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon in the Courtyard of The Chesterfield Palm Beach. The High Tea was scrumptious, more than we could eat and they accommodated my daughter's Gluten Free needs.

White-sand beach with breathtaking panoramic Atlantic Ocean views, world-class dining at two on-site restaurants and a spa named one of Florida's best places to pamper yourself.
This is a hidden gem right on the beach in Palm Beach itself. Rooms are less than 30 yards or so from the ocean. The rooms are on the small side and a little dark in the decor but had a very comfortable bed, cool jetted bath/shower with a glass wall, and, our room at least, had an awesome, wrap-around balcony (it was a corner room) with a wonderful view of the beach. It is a great place for couples. The hallways inside the property were carpeted with old, dark-colored carpeting that desperately needs to be replaced (or at very least, deep-cleaned) as soon as possible. That was probably the only negative in my wife’s and my view. We liked that the property is small with only five floors and not that many rooms. It had a quaint feel with a good vibe. The front desk staff was very friendly and provided us a decent bottle of bubbly on arrival. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast (we never had dinner there nor the sushi, but heard that was good too). I highly recommend the lobster Benedict. It had LOTS of fresh lobster and the eggs were perfectly poached. (The lobster omelet was good too but the Benedict was probably the best Eggs Benedict I’ve had). The wait staff was very attentive. The beach had plenty of lounge chairs and the beach attendant timely brought us drinks. The pool is out in the front of the hotel, nestled in middle of the parking lot and the pool looked like it needed resurfacing. The cabana area was chained up (but would be very nice as are upstairs overlooking the pool). Some comments we read before going complained about the pool location but hey, if you are right on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, why waste time at the pool? Not only that, but we prefer the rooms being close to the beach rather than the pool being “in the way…” Anyhow, we only stayed two nights but look forward to returning soon. If the carpets get replaced, rooms freshened up a little and the pool area fixed up, it will truly be a five star little gem.

The Palm Beach Historic Inn is a 1923 Harvey and Clark, Mediterranean Revival Architecture Historic Landmark building in the heart of downtown Palm Beach FL. Located just steps from the Atlantic Ocean, fine dining, and the luxury shopping on Worth Avenue. Our rooms are outfitted with HDTVs and high speed internet access for our guests. All rooms are located on the second floor of our historic property and we do not have an elevator to access that floor due to the historic nature of the building. We do have ADA accessible rooms for the hearing and visually impaired. Please call the inn to book those rooms if necessary. We do not have a 24 hour front desk so if your will be arriving after 8pm please be sure to let us know so we can get you the proper information for late night check-ins! Since we are located in the heart of downtown with limited space, we do not have parking. We are happy to assist with parking if you need that before or upon arrival. We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise.
Couldn’t ask for a better place to be. Walking distance to the ocean, Worth Ave, the best restaurants, shopping and areas on the island. Extremely clean and updated room in a historic building. Innkeepers have attended to every detail including breakfast, snacks extra daily bottled water, keurig coffee in the rooms, fridge/freezer, beach towels, and there are onsite areas to test or eat inside and out. Having stayed at the other island boutique hotels this one is a treasure. Room decor is a little simpler inside but high water pressure, excellent air conditioning and the best location. If you have never visited Palm Beach Island know that this and most buildings are historical and thus the experience is such- part of the charm. So pleased with my stay here.

Welcome to The Brazilian Court Hotel, our famous and historic landmark hotel on the island of Palm Beach, Florida. Equally rich in history and architecture, our four-star hotel has been meticulously restored as one of the quintessential Palm Beach and West Palm Beach hotels. A celebrity vacation retreat for decades, The Brazilian Court Hotel is an elegant, private retreat with luxurious accommodations and impeccable service surrounded by lushly landscaped courtyards.
This small boutique hotel is a historic hotel with a lot of charm. The setting is quiet and very tropical. The location perfect to walk to restaurants and Worth Ave. And a great restaurant. BUT our room was substandard. They are tired, dated and worn out. We had a 2-room King suite with a tiny bathroom. A single sink cabinet with no place for your toiletries. The upholstery in the room was old and stained -as was the carpet. The wallpaper was beginning to peel from bathroom wall. It felt and looked old and dirty. At $1200 a night is was very disappointing. We moved hotels after 2nd night.

From an icon of Nantucket hospitality comes a fully renovated destination resort in Palm Beach. Experience the timeless charm and elegance of White Elephant with a brand-new Palm Beach sensibility. This contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean-revival architecture reflects the pulse and excitement of Palm Beach while capturing the spirit of a stately home. A complete, five-star renovation includes hardwood floors, woven rugs, exquisite tiles, and a color palette in soft neutrals-inspired by Palm Beach. Built in 1924, re-imagined today, the footprint of the structure and the facade still remains but the interior has undergone a total transformation led by Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects. The hotel features 13 deluxe rooms and 19 suites which includes two penthouse suites located on the fourth floor, the Park & Palm Suites. The Park Suite has recently been awarded "Best Suite" in by the Gold Key Awards for Excellence in Hospitality Design. White Elephant Palm Beach continues the rich tradition of outstanding hospitality established at White Elephant Nantucket, while bringing its own style and excellence to this new, yet already legendary Palm Beach resort destination.
This is the word that kept popping into my head during my stay at the White Elephant! My husband and I spent a long weekend here and it was the perfect getaway. The hotel itself is fantastic. The rooms were wonderful (comfortable bed, Nespresso machine, stocked fridge with cold waters, etc). The hotel has an amazing restaurant (Lola 41). We had dinner here one night, drinks a different night, and delicious frozen drinks by the pool during the day. All of the hotel staff were SO friendly and attentive. I think this is what stood out the most. Everyone who worked there wanted to make sure you were happy and that you had everything you wanted. The staff were available to drive us to other places. They drove us to restaurants, to the airport for our return trip, and also to the beach ... and got us all set up with chairs, towels, an umbrella and cold drinks. They also have a BMW program and we took out a complimentary BMW one day and cruised around! The location of the hotel was ideal. You can walk a few blocks in one direction and hit the walk/bike path along the lagoon. You can walk a few blocks in the other direction and hit the beach. There are lots of cafes, restaurants and even a grocery store all in walking distance. I really can't say enough amazing things about the White Elephant. Our stay was relaxing, we felt totally pampered, and it was a great location to get out and about for activities. Highly recommended!!

The vibe of this place is a mix of The Shinning meets the apartment where Ralph and Alice Cramdon lived on the Honeymooners (Google that reference Gen-Z). This is billed as a hotel, it’s not. It’s an old condo with no amenities that saw its heyday in the 70’s when air travel became cheap and widely available and all the old people left the Catskills for Florida. There’s nobody here (nobody working, no other guests) There’s no Wi-Fi, just a spotty hot spot with what I guess is DSL. There’s nowhere to get a cup of coffee until 8. The 1 restaurant is closed Mon & Tues, the place smells like my grandparents (I’m waiting for the apartment to offer me ribbon candy that’s been sitting in a decorative bowl for years). The apartment looks it was on a C-league home renovation show that plays on an on-line channel where they flip decrepit old buildings by cheaply redoing the bathroom, kitchen and floors to look just good enough to make a profit. If I were in college in an old city like Boston, this would be an awesome place for like $800/month.
