A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because Palm Beach without The Breakers is not Palm Beach – the island's grand dame since 1896, with a MICHELIN Key and a restoration three decades in the making.
- Founded in 1896; the present Italian Renaissance building by Schultze & Weaver, modeled on Rome's Villa Medici, opened in December 1926 and has stood on the National Register since 1973.
- 534 rooms and suites on 140 oceanfront acres, with the 21-room Flagler Club kept as a boutique hotel within the hotel.
- One MICHELIN Key, the Guide's hotel distinction, in its Florida selection.
- The Mediterranean Courtyard reopened in spring 2026 with a new glass conservatory and bar by Hart Howerton – the final phase of a three-decade restoration.
