This luxury resort recently underwent a major renovation. Tucked away on seven oceanfront acres on the southern tip of Palm Beach Island, the hotel remains close to the area’s attractions and activities. Rooms and suites artfully blend Florida style with European elegance. Two restaurants showcase the talents of the chefs. Try the Ocean Cafe and Bar for lunch or enjoy afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge.
