Blaire's Been - Palm Beach
To be completely honest, Palm Beach was NEVER on my radar! When I thought of Florida, I thought of either Miami or the Florida Panhandle like Seaside/Watercolor/Destin. I made a great friend in the industry who started working at a hotel in Palm Beach while simultaneously booking a family there for Thanksgiving, so I figured now is as good a time as ever to go check out this gem!
Once I got to Palm Beach, I was pleasantly surprised. Though it’s so close to Miami, it has a completely different feel. Think Lily Pulitzer, preppy town, cute restaurants, beautiful beaches. And the hotels in the area did not disappoint either! I had the opportunity to stay at two properties and tour one more - all of which are very different and perfect for various types of travelers!
The Breakers
The Breakers is an iconic landmark with tons of history. “If the walls could talk” is what I was thinking the entire time I stayed there. You are immediately reminded of its history and grandeur once entering the opulent lobby which feels like you’re in Europe. The grounds at The Breakers are expansive, and in my opinion, this is the perfect hotel in Palm Beach to get away with your family or multi-generational group. There are tons of pools and a large beach, all of which including great poolside and beachside service.
There are varying dining outlets and bars on property, as well. I absolutely loved hanging out in the main bar in the hotel which totally has a buzzing atmosphere. The dining room where you have your complimentary breakfast when booked through BPK is grand and a total wow as is its sushi restaurant with a light up bar that doubles as a fish tank!
The kids club on property is amazing, too. Sometimes kids clubs are an afterthought, in my opinion, but this one was extremely well thought out and perfectly curated to make a child’s experience more educational rather than just babysitting services. But in adidtion to the kids clubs, children will love the massive lawns and wide stretches of beaches whereas the parents will love the HUGE workout facilities and amazing and cozy spa which totally invites you to spend the entire day there!
Four Seasons Palm Beach
Yall, let me tell you… this is one of the cutest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The Four Seasons Palm Beach recently underwent a renovation, and it’ literally my dream decor. The combination of seafoam greens and light pinks make the atmosphere totally inviting , cute and beachy! Though this is a Four Seasons, it feels extremely boutique and intimate. I think it’ the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a girls trip. The Four Seasons is set away from many hotels and is on a quieter yet extremely beautiful stretch of the beach in Palm Beach.
Th restaurant on property is literally so good. Not only is it decorated in similar hues as the entire property, but the food is world class and is curated by one of the best chefs in the world.
I loved this hotel so much and think the service levels are so elevated and personalized. I know my clients will love this hotel and all of BPK Travel’s preferred partner amenities, too!
Eau Palm Beach
Pronounced “Oh”, the Eau Palm Beach was such a treat! Upon arrival and in the lobby, you imagine your stay will be formal. The lobby i grand and filled with lighter furniture and crystalized decor. But then you get to the rooms.. and yall let me tell you… they are FUN! The rooms are designed by Jonathan Adler, and they’re the perfect mix of blues and yellows and funk. I can totally see a fun group of BFFs enjoying this property!
Speaking of a BFF trip, the spa at Eau Palm Beach was amazing. It was huge, and I absolutely loved the outdoor spaces for spa goers to relax.
To be honest, Ilike the other hotels’ pool and beach areas more, but I did absolutely love Eau’s playful vibe and know my clients will love all the amazing, extra amenities received when booked through BPK.
