The Colony Hotel
Known as Palm Beach's Pink Paradise, The Colony is a must-visit destination—whether you book a stay or visit the social hub for a meal or trivia night. Dating back to 1947, the hotel has welcomed many famous visitors from Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra. The guest rooms, decorated by Kemble Interiors, feature scalloped trim, wicker accents, and lively color palettes that are the epitome of Palm Beach style. The accommodations also include 14 multi-bedroom residences designed in collaboration with AERIN, goop, Serena & Lily, and more.
Apart from the enchanting interiors, guests can indulge in the hotel's unbeatable amenities. A beach bulter, dreamy pool, custom-branded bikes, on-demand transportation, and fitness classes are only a few of the luxury offerings that'll make guests never want to leave.
The Breakers
The Breakers perfectly blends the seaside glamour of Palm Beach living with the elegance and craftsmanship of a grand Italian villa. Founded in 1896, the 140-acre, oceanfront resort was modeled after the Villa Medici in Rome. The 200-foot-long main lobby and public areas on the first floor feature intricate paintings and detailed ceilings. The guest rooms and suites take on a coastal-cool aesthetic. Every year, the owners re-invest an average of $30 million to preserve and enhance the landmark property, and New York-based studio Tihany Design has helped bring those projects to life for the last 12 years.
But there's no need to spend all your time in the main halls, ogling the bellissimi interiors. The resort has 10 restaurants and practically every desirable amenity imaginable for a dream Palm Beach getaway. There's a beach club, fitness center, golf course, tennis courts, spa, car service, and so much more.
White Elephant Palm Beach
At White Elephant Palm Beach, Mediterranean Revival meets modern luxury. Built in 1924, the high-end boutique hotel (with Nantucket roots!) maintains the footprint and facade of the original structure. The interiors—which include 13 deluxe rooms and 19 suites—were completely reimagined by Elkus Manfredi Architects. A calming, neutral color palette, hardwood flooring, fine tiles, and woven rugs complete the destination's welcoming atmosphere.
When they're not scheming as to how to break into Palm Beach society, guests enjoy lounging by the pool and delighting in globally inspired cuisine at the in-house restaurant, Lola 41 Palm Beach. Complimentary services—morning coffee, wine and cheese receptions, bikes, beach essentials, and more—make the experience all the better.
Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach
Fans of Palm Royale and The White Lotus will adore the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach. The five-star destination boasts interiors designed by Martin Brudnizki that exude luxury and comfort. Each of the 207 guest rooms (all with private balconies) and suites feature a dreamy pastel color palette, while the rest of the hotel is awash in subtle patterns, lush greenery, and neutral hues.
Multiple pools, acres of private beachfront, and award-winning dining options round out the resort's top-tier offerings. Whether you're looking to play tennis or go on a wildlife tour in a private airboat, this place has you covered.
The Brazilian Court Hotel
For a secluded escape, look no further than The Brazilian Court Hotel. The Spanish Colonial property is an 80-room enclave built in 1926, but boasting recently refreshed interiors by owner Bobby Schlesinger and interior designer Lauren Hastings of Leslie Schlesinger Interiors. Each room features a nature-inspired color palette thanks to Sapele wood and cane beds, custom raffia lampshades, and seating in white boucle, green wool, and saffron velvet fabrics. Mahogany millwork and playful accents maintain the boutique hotel's blend of easygoing energy and 1920s glamour.
Garden courtyards with fountains and a private pool make the hotel ideal for guests looking for a serene sanctuary. Those itching to venture off property can take full advantage of the hotel's yacht (guests get a two-hour complimentary voyage), beach services, 24-hour fitness center, and more.
Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa
Situated on a private beach with seven acres of oceanfront, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa embodies easy living and sophisticated luxury with its playful, modern style. The guest rooms designed by Jonathan Adler weave in the vibrant colors of the sun, sand, and sea. Among the many suite options is a limited-time Lily Pulitzer-designed suite (available now through September) that exudes cheerful charm.
Guests can relax at the five-star spa, lounge in a cabana with ocean views, or enjoy the seemingly endless dining options and activities including tennis, fitness classes, and water sports.
PGA National Resort
Avid golfers will want to consider staying a bit more inland at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens. Roughly a 20-minute drive from Palm Beach proper, the resort is anchored by six championship golf courses that players are sure to enjoy. Better yet, the secluded property offers the privacy of a relaxed residential retreat. The rooms, suites, and cottages are outfitted with tropical and coastal decor, creating a sunny oasis infused with the spirit of Palm Beach.
While guests may come for the golf, they stay for the resort's full-service spa and salon, sports and racquet club (which includes pickleball courts!), and dining led by celebrity chefs.
