20 reviews for The Breakers Hotel
They kept my 1/3 full bottle of beloved Cakebread on ice in my room for 2 days (without my asking) until I had the chance to enjoy it after a very long day's work. Apply that level of service to the rest of the hotel and you have The Breakers.
My room was immaculate all week. The housekeepers even changed the shower curtain a couple of times, I have never seen that. The event space is gorgeous, and the staff will happily accommodate your every whim. Even when you want them to say no, they won't, even to your drunk friend's kooky late night ideas.
Everyone greets you with a smile and "hello" and will bend over backwards to make sure you have a great stay. Overall, just a very pleasant place to be.

Great Value in luxury!!! Magestic decor without being intimidating! Comfortable, well equipped rooms with nice view to the inner gardens or if you can afford it with views to the Atlantic!
Hope I had time to golf in their course, it looks very inviting.
Enjoy,

Oh the legendary Breakers... *sigh*.... every time I think about it I want to jump on the next flight out to Palm Beach.
The service, the atmosphere, the facilities... everything is perfect. As soon as I get onto the grounds of the hotel I have no care in the world.
However, the pool..or the beach is where I can be found during the day. It gets busy down there so you should try to get down early to make sure you get a chair. If you prefer the beach may I suggest you get your chair set up closer to the wall (on your left when you're looking out to the ocean)...just because when there's a breeze the sand won't blow onto you.
Their brunch is amazing and if I lived in Palm Beach I'd probably go every week.. it's just THAT great. I also think everyone should take the shuttle and go to Echo (they own this restaurant too). Nevertheless all their restaurants are fabulous.

Quite simply one of my favorite hotels in the world. Elegant decor, attentive service, great spa, great view of the ocean. Worth every penny. Book ahead if you plan to go during PB's "Season".
Have stayed here twice and throughly enjoyed it. Impeccable service throughout and the best way to experience Palm Beach.

It's a decadent hotel with very friendly and attentive service. I was able to make the most of my short three night stay--read work proposals by the pool and even enjoyed a spa treatment. It was so difficult to tear myself away that I even arranged a meeting at the dimly lit, yet elegant bar.
If you want to feel pampered when visiting Palm Beach, this is the place to stay.

Elegant, opulent and vast. Yet so comfortable and family friendly. Every area is a vacation from your vacation. It's everything everyone says it is -- and more.
Here's a special shout out to the best poolside cabana guy, Brandon. I don't know how he manages to keep whole families blissfully happy and attended to, but he does it beautifully.

We got married here just 2 weeks ago and 5 stars just isn't enough for this hotel worthy of a billion stars. Our wedding weekend at the Breakers was so unbelievable that we actually considered just staying in Palm Beach instead of jetting off to Hawaii for 2 weeks...
After tons of meetings at the breakers over the past year I've made this my second home (i can only wish), but driving up to this absolutely breathtaking hotel still takes my breath away.
Kym Bichon was our wedding coordinator at the Breakers and if anyone knows how to plan a wedding it's Kym! She's the first wedding caterer/planner I've dealt with, but I can't imagine anyone being more efficient than Kym....she was always finishing my questions as I asked them (yep she's that good) and made sure every detail was just perfect. I'm quite the perfectionist, but I had no qualms about anything while in Kym's hands.
They put us in in the most swankiest ocean view suite for the weekend (about 3 times the size of my apartment in Chicago!) and after being treated like royalty i'm already planning future anniversaries at the Breakers.
After my experience here I think this may very well be the best place in the world to get married, but it's also quite a nice place to vacation...you can find it all at the breakers (the beach, a relaxing pool, incredible food, top notch service, and more).

Absolutely breathtaking!!!

Excellent! Go there for the The Cavilino Classic Concours, D'Elegance. That is when all of the old vintage Ferrari's are out on the grand lawn. It is an awesome experience and I have gone for the last years. The cars look the same and the people get older.
Great Hotel right in the heart of town.

Listen guys, I'm not my grandma so I don't really care about velvet pillows and lace doilies and victorian inspired lighting fixtures. I prefer a little more modern style to ornate revivalism in my hotel choices.
That said, a 5-star hotel with great service on an incredible (manmade) beach in the middle of irritatingly oppulent Palm Beach made for an interesting stay.
The rooms are nicely laid out, but I just can't hang with the desperate plea at haute-couture/neo-classical florida style (I'm much more at home with edgier SF/NY sensibilities). Maybe I'll change my mind in 20-30 years, but for now, it's not anywhere near the top of my list of places to return to.
The private beach was nice (air temp = 97F w/ 75% humidity, water temp = 82F). I'll give it an extra star for that.

What can I say about this venerable, old school, and old money institution? The Breakers is an amazing hotel. One evening after dinner, we strolled through the open banquet rooms and out to the beach. This place is phenomenally beautiful. The service is excellent. The standard rooms are small and, of course, you pay for the experience dearly. For hotel lovers, visiting this place is like is like going to Yankee stadium for baseball fanatics.
They have some nonsense about dress code on the property and it is all a little stuffy. But all in all, an excellent hotel for the well-heeled or those indulging in a splurge.

My family has been members here since i was in 4th grade and i've always loved it. It's changed so much through years and some renovations. The cabanas are cute. All the restaurants, ( seafood bar, steak house, italian restaurant, the circle, beach club, etc) are excellent. The Breakers actually owns Echo also... most people don't know that.
The spa is great and the salon could be better. The gym is small though. The rooms are nice... especially the ocean views. One of my fav hotels/ beach clubs ever.

Mid-day poolside drinking is an legendary here. If you find an open chair, you're either really lucky or really rich.

beautiful, great service, legendary hotel, yada, yada, yada...The Seafood Bar has french fries with gorgonzola cheese sauce and white truffle oil - 'nuff said
note: If you get the stone crab claws (YUM), be sure to ask what "market price" is before you order

We only had time to stay for a drink but walking through the grand hotel was amazing... to get there you have to drive past incredible mulit-million or even billion $ villas/mansions/estates... there must have been a few weddings or huge gallas going on that night b/c the streets were lined with tons of Rolls, crazy looking sports cars and others that I'd never be able to name.
The Breakers is an elegant, celebrity attracting, famous hotel, right on the beach. On our way to the restaurant/bar that overlooked the ocean, we were amazed at how fancy the halls were that I, of course, peeked into their bathrooms... lovely, of course! I would have loved to stay at this place, although I might feel a bit out of place with the old money we saw walking around. I def agree with Alex C. ... great place for hotel lovers!

I spent 3 nights there for a conference. The resort infrastructure is fantastic.
Service on par with hotels such as the Pennisula, but infrastructure is better. The ceiling in the lobby is quite a sight, they offer a historic tour of the facility on Tuesday afternoons.
You can snorkel just off the beach as well.
Price was very expensive. valet parking 20$ per night. Internet is 13.99.
I had a salad and smoothie for lunch totaled at 38$ after tip, but it was over the beach right by the pool.
I would definitely stay there again.

The brunch is one of the best I have ever had in U.S., the price is twice what I ever ever paid as well. Hotel & grounds are beautiful.

Yea, the hotel is nice, but the SEAFOOD BAR is the BEST! I've always had a good time there. It's not cheap. Drinks are kick-ass. Definitely get an appetizer and some infused pineapple too. View of the ocean is panoramic and the bar that's also a fish tank is nefty too. This place can be both fun and romantic! Great for dates and hanging with friends.

The Breakers is one of the nicest resorts in the world. 1st class all the way. They have wonderful Sunday brunch. It's the best in South Florida. If you go to the bar at night you will be drinking with some of the wealthiest people in the world.

Recently attended a conference at the legendary Breakers and was pleased to find it as elegant as its reputation claims. Food was outstanding, service attentive, sheets divine and towels fluffy and plentiful. The only downside being how expensive everything was. I do know that we were in Palm Beach and at an exclusive resort, but when a small Perrier is five dollars, I find that rather steep. The good news is that the overpriced food was delicious! Loved having snacks at the Seafood Bar (crab nachos! awesome!) and the Sunday brunch was excellent (good thing at $85 a head!). Also worth noting, the conference food was quite tasty and above what one expects from hotel convention food. Our room was comfortable and spacious and had plenty of closet space and larger safe than some resorts provide. My only complaint about the room was the bathroom lighting. It was pretty dark. Dark enough that my wife took a mirror she travels with and applied her makeup near the window so that she could see. They do provide a light-up magnifying mirror on the wall, but as her eyes are good she said that made it even harder to see herself. Our hallway had a peculiar smell, but we attributed that to our being in an old hotel near the sea. A little musty, but bearable.
