Book NowThe Breakers Review
More than an opulent hotel, the Breakers is a modern resort, built in an Italian Renaissance style, packed with amenities, from a 20,000-square-foot luxury spa and Medditerranean-style beach club to clubhouses for the 10 tennis courts and two 18-hole golf courses. Dating from 1896 and on the National Register of Historic Places, it is owned by Henry Flagler's heirs and sprawls over 140 oceanfront acres. Cupids frolic at the main Florentine fountain, and majestic frescoes grace hallways leading to restaurants. For added luxury, cabanas come with personal concierge. One of the most extensive wine collections in the world is housed here, keeping the hotel's six sommeliers busy.

Palm Beach Powerhouse
It's almost impossible to discuss the East Coast equivalent of Beverly Hills—Palm Beach—without The Breakers making its way into the conversation. Rich in Gilded Age opulence, the landmark 115-year-old property built by oil magnate Henry Flagler has been a pillar of the Palm Beach social scene since its late-19th-century construction ushered in the birth of Florida tourism. And, thanks to a series of well-executed nips and tucks, this tony enclave shows no signs of relinquishing her crown as queen of the scene anytime soon. Sprawling over 140 oceanfront acres on "Billionaire's Row," the stately resort exudes decadence at every turn; from its grand palm-tree lined entrance to refined oceanfront dining room, and 540 elegant rooms and suites, The Breakers cossets guests in the Palm Beach mystique.
