Palm House: A Bold New Chapter in Palm Beach Luxury

The pooch-friendly 79-room property with butler service embraces Palm Beach’s timeless style, with a fresh, bold twist that feels at once nostalgic and thoroughly modern.

Palm Beach has long been a beacon of glamour, sophistication, and timeless elegance. Now, the island’s storied hospitality scene welcomes a dazzling new addition—Palm House, the first modern luxury hotel to open on Palm Beach in over four years. More than just a place to stay, Palm House redefines the very essence of luxury, blending the allure of old-world charm with contemporary opulence.

The Palm House is not only the first new hotel on the island in nearly half a decade, but it also marks the U.S. debut of the prestigious Iconic Luxury Hotels (ILH) collection. Known for its extraordinary portfolio of global gems—from the iconic Cliveden House in England to Venice’s storied Hotel Excelsior—this addition brings a new level of sophistication to Palm Beach’s already enviable reputation.

Nestled steps from the beach, along Royal Palm Way, Palm House offers the perfect combination of convenience and seclusion, located between the upscale shopping haven of Worth Avenue and the charming Royal Poinciana Plaza. The 79-room property embraces Palm Beach’s timeless style, with a fresh, bold twist that feels at once nostalgic and thoroughly modern.

A Grand Entrance into a World of Elegance

As you approach Palm House, the first thing that captures your attention is its coral-hued façade, framed by lush greenery and towering coconut palms. The playful color scheme immediately signals that this is a place that balances elegance with a hint of whimsy. Inside, the experience is just as captivating. The Palm Bar greets guests with a striking design that feels almost dreamlike. Murano-glass chandeliers dangle from vaulted ceilings, while vast seashell wall installations by Christa Wilm offer a sense of artistic grandeur. This space is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail—whether you’re relaxing after a day on the beach or indulging in a moment of people-watching.

In keeping with Palm House’s commitment to “relaxed exclusivity,” the Palm Bar’s warm yet refined atmosphere invites both hotel guests and Palm Beach locals to mingle in an effortlessly chic setting. Tuxedo-clad bartenders serve up classic cocktails and inventive tropical creations with the kind of personal service that makes every guest feel like a VIP.

A Culinary Journey at Palm House Dining Room

Adjacent to the bar is the Palm House Dining Room, where the culinary offerings are as captivating as the hotel’s design. Executive Chef Jerry Ayala brings his expertise in fusing Japanese and Peruvian flavors to the table, creating a menu that has been described as Nobu-style cuisine. The Dining Room offers all-day dining, from breakfast through dinner, both indoors and on an inviting outdoor terrace. Guests can enjoy an intimate culinary experience in the 88-seat space, with a mix of banquettes and standalone tables, or opt for a more interactive experience at the chef’s table, where dishes are prepared before your eyes.

The room’s design channels the coastal elegance of Palm Beach with a fusion of soft oak walls, Japanese-inspired textures, and turquoise accents. The result is a space that is as aesthetically pleasing as the food itself.

Sunset Pool Deck: Your Private Oasis

Beyond the Dining Room lies the Sunset Pool Deck, the hotel’s tranquil, sunken pool area, designed to be a serene oasis of privacy and relaxation. With cushioned loungers, cabana beds, and attentive pool butlers, this secluded sanctuary offers everything you need for a day of pampered indulgence. The pool area is artfully designed with touches of Palm House’s signature coral color, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind, whether you’re enjoying a refreshing Evian Spritz or simply basking in the Florida sun.

Spacious Rooms and Suites

The guest rooms at Palm House set a new standard for luxury, with 58 guest rooms and 21 suites offering expansive spaces—some of the largest in Palm Beach. The interiors are a study in understated luxury, with a carefully chosen color palette of sea green, sand, and coral, evoking the island’s coastal beauty. Signature touches include custom-made woven wall sconces, antique mirrors, and floors that range from limestone on the first level to plush carpeting inspired by seashell markings on the upper floors.

The suites, including the Presidential and Royal Palm Suites, are nothing short of spectacular. The Presidential Suite, a sprawling 1,982-square-foot, two-story space, boasts an Alaskan King bed (the largest in Palm Beach) and two balconies overlooking the pool. With a color palette of sea green, gold, and linen, the suite is a luminous, light-filled haven that feels both elegant and welcoming. A dedicated butler ensures that every guest’s needs are met, while the suite’s generous living space and personalized amenities make it a destination in itself.

Art and Amenities

Palm House is as much a cultural experience as it is a luxurious retreat. The hotel features an extensive collection of contemporary art, curated by Minda Dowling, with works from renowned artists like Tim MacPherson and Brad Walls. Each piece, from dramatic photography to large-scale sculptures, complements the hotel’s chic, coastal design.

Guests can also enjoy a range of premium amenities, from Natura Bissé bath products to curated beach picnics, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and concierge services that ensure every detail of your stay is taken care of.
