Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach leads a list of nice stays near the waves.
Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach
Palm Beach is titled “America's first luxury resort destination,” but the 11-mile island along Florida's east coast is not in its gorgeous glory. Many Gold Coast institutions, such as the Boca Raton Yacht Club and Colony Hotel, have experienced major makeovers, making sure Palm Beach's charm never becomes a style.
Looking for a beachfront hotel inspired by Rome's Villa Medici, you can trust the exclusive list of Forbes Travel Guides, regardless of the enduring appeal of the city's salmon colored structure. To find the best hotels in Palm Beach, our Secret Inspector posed as regular guests and stayed at each facility for multiple nights. Inspectors tested hundreds of strict standards with an emphasis on exceptional services, which account for 70% of property ratings. The remaining 30% comes from the quality and condition of the facility. FTG does not require any business relationships from rate properties and does not earn a fee when booking any of the following hotels:
The recently rethinked beach club is still breathtaking.
Boca Raton Beach Club
5 star hotel
Boca Raton Beach Club
Spread along a 30-mile private sand, the Beach Club is one of the top secluded beach vacation locations in the area. This is part of a massive Boca Raton resort designed as a gorgeous year-round seaside escape by architect Addison Mizner, and the Mediterranean Revival/Spanish colonial revival style came to define the aesthetics of South Florida.
Recently reconsidered Beach Club welcomes you with impressive views of the Atlantic Ocean in the lobby and Beach Club Lounge.
Beyond that are 210 cabana-style rooms and suites, three sparkling outdoor pools, a Marisol restaurant, a new sand-side dining area, Onda, and the Ocean View Fitness Centre. See more.
Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach
The newly renovated Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach unites the best Palm Beach in one place. Just minutes from the famous Worth Avenue, the challenges of three Championship golf courses and the thrill of the National Polo Center, Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach sits in one of the island's most vast golden sands.
The authentic local atmosphere is combined with the resort's truly warm and attentive staff and an extensive list of amenities (signature dining, 11 treatment rooms spa, pool front cabanas) that creates lasting memories celebrating the island's long hospitality heritage. See more.
From golf to illustrious restaurants, experience it all with the breaker.
Breaker Palm Beach
4 star hotel
Breaker Palm Beach
In its celebrity favourites since 1896 (and current building since 1926), Breaker Palm Beach boasts a rich history, competed only by its own preferences that favor constant reinvention. The result is a completely modern and dynamic beachfront destination that welcomes you in the 200-foot Lodgea Frank, Murano Grass Dripping and the arched main lobby based on Genoa's Renaissance Castle.
But there's even more experience in the 140-acre property filled with 534 rooms and suites, 10 restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses and other luxury perks. Our recommendation: Play rounds on the ocean course on Florida's oldest golf course and enjoy treatments at the 20,000 square feet of oceanfront spa. See more.
