About Palm Beach, Florida
Located on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach is synonymous with a luxurious lifestyle begun in the early 1900’s by wealthy industrialists from northern states as a winter retreat. It is home to grand estates such as Whitehall, gourmet restaurants, and international boutiques. Even the upscale thrift shops offer once-worn designer labels. Surrounding communities include Jupiter Island, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Worth and Wellington where polo, the sport of kings, is a seasonal event—pack a picnic and a bottle of champagne.
From lavish resorts and elegant hotels like the Breakers, the Bradley House, the Four Seasons Resort, or the Ambassador Hotel, to cozy cottages and intimate bed and breakfast lodging such as the Colony Hotel, the Chesterfield, the Brazilian Court, and the Palm Beach Historic Inn, visitors will enjoy a wide range of accommodations and outstanding amenities.
