Fodor's Review:

What distinguishes this legendary British colonial-style hotel is that it's only one block from Worth Avenue and one block from a beautiful beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel's lobby and pool area has had a face-lift, with ornamental plants, fountains, wicker furniture, and billowing white panels reminiscent of South Beach's luxurious hotels. An attentive staff, youthful yet experienced, is buzzing with competence and a desire to please. Guest rooms are decorated in Caribbean-colonial, with sunny yellow walls and dark mahogany desks, and pineapple-carved poster beds grace some rooms. Roomy suites and luxurious two-bedroom villas have laundry facilities and full kitchens. Reserve early for the dinner cabaret shows, which have featured entertainers such as Faith Prince and Andrea Marcovicci. Pros: close to shopping; lots of luxury. Cons: elevators are small; price tag is high.

Reviewed by SBrantley from Valley Forge, PA on 2/3/09
This is a wonderful hotel; it's older and has a lot of charm. Rooms and bathrooms are immaculate and the staff is exceptional in their graciousness. Breakfast by the pool is not to be missed. Hotel is probably not for young children but other than that, it's a great place to stay while in Palm Beach. Much better than The Breakers.
