We stayed at The Breakers in September 2011 for a surprise trip on my husband's b-day. It was amazing. I have never stayed at a hotel like it. The service is impeccable.....I felt like a VIP while I was there. We went in the "off-season" so apparently it wasn't nearly as crowded as normal which, according to others, is a... More

We stayed at The Breakers for a business conference in May 2012. What is most impressive about this property is the architecture - grand and gilded in every sense. Modeled after the Villa Medici in Rome, the common areas are adorned with beautiful frescoes, tapestries and ornate details. The property is now over 85 years old, and is beautiful and... More

I have been to this hotel three times. The building and grounds are beautiful. You will find the hotel stunning, you feel as if you are checking in to Versailles. Problem is service and expense. My room was small, long lines for the elevators. No desk in the room, small table only. If you want to actually get any business... More

This grand old resort is the place to stay in Palm Beach. Everything about the hotel is top notch. The grounds are magnificent, the rooms luxurious and the service is impeccable. The only thing I would quibble is with is the price of food. A tuna fish sandwich for $15 and a hot dog for $12 at the poolside restaurant... More

Go ahead and get the ocean front rooms and you will not be disappointed. The staff all very helpful. This was our 8th time here in the last 20 years. The Breakers only gets better. The lobby continues to be a perfect example of the gilded age. The beach/pool service excellent. The shops on site wonderful.

Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Not only do you have the beautiful beach, but a number of pool options as well. I've only stayed for conferences, so the majority of my time was in the conference center (which they handle wonderfully). It was raining really hard when I arrived, and I discovered a leak in my room. I called... More

I previously wrote a review about a negative experience I had last Fall. I stand by that review of that particular experience. Orraine, one of the managers, listened to my complaints last Fall and convinced me to return and offered me a room upgrade if we did. So, we went back for Christmas. Our experience at Christmas was entirely different,... More

We have been going to the Palm Beach area for over 10 years (we own a timeshare in Palm Beach Shores), have vistied The Breakers on occasion for the brunch (first class) and other meals, but have not had an opportunity to stay there. The main building and grounds are spectacular and reminiscent of old style class in Europe. Just... More

Stunning hotel; history, luxury, location, facilities, service, all 5 stars. My only quibble would be that the hotel bar has VERY few tables for such a huge hotel and therefore one evening I was there hotel guests coming down for a drink either had to stand at the bar or abandon plans for a pre dinner drink due to lack...
