Hubby and I planned to come here for Valentine's Day. I called ahead to make sure there weren't property restrictions. We arrived around 5:00 pm and security scanned my ID upon arrival. We valeted and headed inside. A lovely floral display caught my eye. We explored beautiful hallways and the lovely beachfront before heading to the seafood bar. There was a hour and a half wait and the bar was crowded. We dined at HMF instead. Good thing we arrived when we did as the property was under restriction around 7ish. Valet was busy when we tried to leave but we patiently waited. Will definitely return for the seafood bar another day. read more

This hotel has a lot of potential and there are definitely some really great things about it -- free ice cream, awesome kid activities, beautiful grounds, and overall it does feel like a luxury property. But honestly, customer service really needs improvement. The room numbering system feels like a complete labyrinth, finding your room can turn into a full adventure. The chains on the playground? Really questionable choice for a family resort. And getting a seat by the pool feels about as likely as finding a $100 million lottery ticket laying on the ground. Is it one of the best hotels? Maybe. But with better organization and much stronger customer service, it could actually live up to the reputation. read more

Had the opportunity to brunch here recently and it was truly fabulous. The setting alone is worth it. Classic Palm Beach elegance, bright and lively, but still refined. It feels special the second you walk in. The food selection was beautiful and thoughtfully presented. Fresh seafood, perfectly prepared hot dishes, and a dessert spread that felt indulgent in the best way. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was polished and attentive without hovering. Overall, such a great experience and absolutely worth it for a celebration or just a luxe Sunday. Would happily return. read more

We went here with a group of high school students to take an etiquette class and then get a tour of the Breakers. It is truly a lovely place and every employee is super helpful and very kind.

Stunning property, fittingly named as you can watch the waves breaking against the rocks right along the shoreline. This historic hotel and event space reminded me in some ways of The Biltmore in Asheville. Everything is clean and pristine yet kept in a fashion that feels true to the era it was built. The aquarium at the bar area was simply incredible and we loved also hanging out at the larger bar area as well. A must if in the area! read more

I had never heard of it before my visit to West Palm Beach FL. We dressed up after reading about it. Walked in for lunch, at the Sea Food restaurant. Everything and more visually, locations, historic and taste wise did not disappoint. Only spend a couple of hours for lunch. Pricy but worth it, if you like food and wine. It had the feel of regal people that had been dining and wandering these halls. I Loved every minute of that place. read more

The Breaker is always a top notch experience: brunch is one of the best I've seen anywhere--the variety of food is vast, the music is lovely, the views and space are beautiful. It's great for those special occasions. The Seafood Bar is fun as fish tanks with clown fish are the bar counter--so entertaining and flaming. Cocktails are good and mocktails as well. Their store has a great variety of goods, and we made the most of some of the sale section to pick up some things for the home. It's nice to walk around after eating and enjoy the beauty of the hotel. There are exhibitions to learn the history of Palm beach and Flagler, and artifacts of hotel history. Their ballrooms are magnificent, and although their Spanish ball room with portraits of Spanish historical figures are mislabeled (yikes) it's still a lovely space reminiscent to Spain. read more

Amazing family friendly resort hotel. Breathtaking views and the service from every staff member was superb. The restaurants all had great drinks and food and had a children's menu. Kid friendly pool access, and kids entertainment center with outdoor playground, basketball court, mini golf and arcade. 10-15 min from airport and free shuttle access to any of their restaurants that are not in immediate campus. Only thing to be prepared for is that given Palm Beach is bougie is general, that some of the guests are "aloof", rather than friendly, if you get my gist. read more

Everything was great. Fantastic staff and beautiful bar and views. They have a bar that stretches along a great glass windows with a wonderful view of the ocean. But what's really unique is that the bar is also an aquarium with fish and live reefs . It's very unique and incredibly cool to look at while you're enjoying your snack and drink. You're not going to get and deals here. But you're paying for a very nice experience. I highly suggest the bar for the fish views and the fast and excellent service. We had the we had the grilled cheese served on Parker House rolls. Although it was a little pricey, it was enough to share for two people and both be very satisfied. If you don't like tomato soup, I suggest you ask to substitute french fries. They were good. read more

This is a beautiful historical hotel north of downtown West Palm Beach. To go in as a visitor you need to give your ID to the security guard before pulling in to the visitor parking area We walked around the grounds and we loved the decor and the details all around. The price per night is about $1300-1500 for the basic room. It's a great place to bring out of town guests so they can experience the life of the rich and famous! read more

A friend of mine, who's a member, recently brought me to The Breakers, and I'm still swooning from the experience. From the moment you pull into the palm-lined drive, you know you're about to enter somewhere truly special--and trust me, it delivers. Founded in 1896 by the legendary Henry Flagler (yes, the same railroad magnate who basically built modern Florida!), The Breakers oozes historic grandeur while offering every modern luxury imaginable. Flagler's vision of opulence and coastal elegance is alive and well here--and elevated to perfection. We didn't just come for the view (though wow--the Atlantic Ocean views from the rooms are worth every penny). We stayed, sipped, and spoiled ourselves with everything the resort has to offer. The cocktails at the bar? Exquisite. You can taste the craftsmanship in every glass. And if you're not up for venturing out--why would you be?--the resort truly puts everything at your fingertips. You've got world-class restaurants, golf, multiple pools, and a five-star spa that feels like a sanctuary from the world. Whether you're here to relax in the sunshine or play like royalty, you'll be more than taken care of. I highly recommend choosing a room that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean--there's nothing like waking up to that endless blue. The Breakers isn't just a hotel, it's an experience. One that reminds you life can be both luxurious and unforgettable. Can't wait to return. read more

One of the best resort experiences we've ever had as a family. The Breakers truly lives up to its five-star reputation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, elegant, and welcoming. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we even scored a complimentary upgrade through our Amex, which was a great surprise. The food was fantastic--especially the buffet, which had a wide variety of high-quality options. The entire resort is beautifully maintained, and the service across the board was excellent. While we didn't get a chance to play pickleball this time, we loved knowing it was available. The resort also offered a convenient shuttle service that took us to nearby restaurants, the museum, and Worth Avenue, where we did some shopping and strolling. The location really can't be beat--it's close to iconic landmarks, the ocean, and everything you'd want to see in Palm Beach. We also appreciated the wide, open green spaces where our infant could safely roam and explore. The landscaping is gorgeous and made our daily walks feel peaceful and refreshing. There was some construction going on, but it didn't really affect our stay. We were only there for a few nights and honestly, everything else made up for it. Check-in was quick, staff were friendly, and our room was cleaned twice a day--plus we loved the little chocolates they left behind. Yes, prices for food and some amenities are on the higher end, but the overall quality and experience made it feel worth it. Even small touches, like being served sparkling water by default and still water in cans, really stood out to us. We created some amazing memories here and we'll absolutely be coming back. This place checks all the boxes for a luxury family getaway. read more

The Breakers is synonymous with the wealth and opulence of Palm Beach. It is an icon of the Gilded Age, offering more than a century of history. In 1894, railroad and real estate magnate Henry Morrison Flagler built the world's largest hotel, the Royal Poinciana in Palm Beach to attract the wealthy to stay in the area when he extended the Florida East Coast Railroad to the isolated area of Lake Worth. After the success of the Royal Poinciana, Flagler built a second hotel that opened on January 16, 1896. The smaller Palm Beach Inn overlooked the Atlantic Ocean and guests started asking for rooms "down by the breakers." In 1901 Flagler doubled the size and changed the name of the hotel to The Breakers. In 1903 while working was being done to enlarge it yet again, the wooden hotel burned down. From the ashes, The Breaker II arose in 1904. Illustrious visitors of the time included the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Astors, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, W.T. Grant and J.C. Penney, along with European nobility and U.S. presidents. On March 18, 1925 The Breakers once again burned down when Mrs. Thompson, the wife of visiting Chicago mayor "Big Bill" Thompson left her new curling iron plugged in when she exited her room. The hotel was a total loss. The Breakers that stands here today was built by Flagler's heirs, William R. Kenan, Jr., president of the Florida East Coast Hotel Company and the Florida East Coast Railway Company, and the brother of Flagler's wife, Mary Lily Kenan Flagler. The architectural firm of Schultze and Weaver was chosen to design the new Breakers based on the facade of the Italian Renaissance Villa Medici (1575). Schultze and Weaver went on to design the Waldorf-Astoria, Pierre, and Sherry Netherlands hotels in New York City. New York City-based Turner Construction Company built the seven-story Breakers. Construction began in January 1926 with more than 1,200 construction workers working around the clock. It took 72 artisans from Italy to complete the hand painted lobby ceiling. The project was completed for $7 million in a 11 1/2 months and The Breakers opened on December 29, 1926. By 1935, The Royal Poinciana was torn down leaving The Breakers as the most luxurious resort standing in Palm Beach. On Sept. 10, 1942, The Breakers became the U.S. Army's Ream General Hospital, serving thousands of servicemen and women recuperating from wounds and illnesses during WWII. Visitors to the war time hospital included Eleanor Roosevelt and then-Sen. Harry Truman who would be elected President. In May 1944, the U.S. Army returned The Breakers to the resort owners. Anyone who visits The Breakers today can see that is a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance design with its dramatic arches, marble floors, and crystal chandeliers. The Florentine Dining Room beamed ceiling was modeled after the Palazzo Davanzati in Florence (1400). The North and South Loggias, shaded terraces, landscaped patios, lush gardens, elegant courtyards, and stunning beachfront make this elegant resort one of a kind. Especially awe inspiring is the 200 foot main lobby with its ornate soaring ceilings that typify the opulence that defines the entire property. Created in 1897 by Henry Flagler, the Breakers' Ocean Course designed by Great Britain top golfer Alexander Findlay is said to be the longest continuously operated golf course in Florida despite Flagler believing golf was just a passing trend. Today The Breakers is one of relatively few privately-owned resorts, independent of chain affiliation. The resort has 538 rooms and suites, a number of restaurants and shops, playground, a beach club, golf, tennis, a spa, and fitness center. The resort hotel is owned by Flagler System Inc., which includes Flagler's heirs. The Breakers is known for its grandiose architecture, impeccable service, and stunning oceanfront views and it stands as one of the most renowned resorts in Florida. If you are not a guest of the resort you can provide your drivers license to the guards as I did and tell them that you are visiting one of the restaurants. The pool and spa are off limit to non resort visitors. Guest parking is on your immediate left just past the guards in row A. In addition to grabbing a snack and admiring the architecture I enjoyed seeing all of the historical photos and artifacts on display in the lobby along with the grand Christmas trees. The Breakers continues to look better than ever thanks to the $25 million that is annually invested into improvements, that include revitalization and historical preservation. This impeccable resort has offered over a century of history, unparalleled luxury, timeless beauty, and outstanding service. It is a iconic and beloved Palm Beach landmark. read more

What a special treat! I've lived in PBC for almost 50 years and have never stayed here until this weekend. What a special time! We were celebrating my mom's birthday and I can't begin to express how much fun we had. From the moment you walk in the doors you are greeted with exquisite architecture and design. The fresh flower arrangements are incredible and everything smells wonderful! We checked in with Kate and she was phenomenal. She suggested a great place for dinner and truly was warm and kind. Our room was comfortable and stocked with great smelling soaps, toiletries and a nice reusable Breakers shopping bag. Our fridge offered complimentary sparkling or regular water with the bathroom having a separate spigot for filtered water. We also thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast! Again, staff was warm and professional and the food was exceptional! Quite the variety! We will be back next year! read more

The presentation of the food was I took a few pictures of the dining rooms but was so carried away by the food that I neglected to take pictures of it. The service was great.

Hands Down the Most Luxurious Hotel in America! I've been wanting to stay at The Breakers ever since I watched the 2001 movie "Heartbreakers" starring Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. It's about a mother and daughter who are con artists. They venture to Palm Beach and stay at The Breakers hotel in order to find Billionaire husbands. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should! Anyway, after watching that movie when I was a kid, I dreamt of one day getting to stay at The Breakers. I booked a solo trip to Palm Beach a couple of months ago and I just wanted to enjoy the hotel and its amenities. For a whopping $1,500 a night (yes, you read that right!) you get a basic room. Fortunately, I was upgraded to a beautiful ocean view room at no extra charge. The whole entire experience was first class! From the moment they greeted me at the door, until I left the hotel, I was treated so well. The front desk staff member named Jonathan C. provided me with excellent service and made checking in a breeze. My room was so breathtakingly beautiful! It's hard to caputre in photos but the view of the ocean was stunning! The bathroom mirror even has a tv built into it! How cool! I couldn't figure out how to work the mirror tv at first, but they quickly called Raul from their maintenance team and he was awesome! Friendly man too. I love the little details they do to pamper their guests. I got a box of artisan chocolates when I arrived. For their turn-down service at night they left me more chocolates on my bed. Their toiletries are top notch and smell so good. They even have a hair drying towel you can keep. The Breakers has a private beach front with staff taking care of you while you enjoy the beach. Their pool area is massive with several different pools and hot tubs to enjoy. They have different kinds of cabanas too and water bungalows you can reserve. I loved enjoying my cocktail in a coconut on the beach! I had dinner at the HMF restaurant which I highly recommend. They had the best tasting sushi. The only downside to my visit was that I was looking forward to brunch at The Circle which is their beautiful restaurant, but unfortunately it was booked for an event. It was a real bummer since I ventured all the way to Florida to try their brunch. I loved my stay, it was everything I hoped it would be. I stayed at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City a few weeks ago, and I think The Breakers even tops that by a landslide! The Breakers will be hard to beat in my book! read more

Hello everyone! So you are thinking about visiting or possibly staying at "The Breakers" resort right? . Well if you can afford to do so you are definitely making a great choice if you are planning on visiting the Palm Beach area of Florida. As mentioned, during high season you are looking at about $1,200 - $2.000 per night to stay at this hotel but then again you will be staying at a hotel that is as much a part of Florida history as the Spanish Fort in St. Augustine. Not sure if it goes any lower on the low season but this property is registered as a national historic site, so the hotel does have some historical providence associated with it. The breakers harkens to an early time at the beginning of the 20th century in Florida when many of our countries industrialists and elites owned, developed and planned most of what was going on in Florida and when they had to visit or vacation this is most probably where they stayed to visit and decompress. Knowing this we had been interested in checking things out for ourselves at this historic hotel for a very long time as we are history buffs. That said, "The Breakers" did not disappoint at all. Upon arriving we managed to find some parking outside on the right hand side of the main entrance driveway (opposite the main roundabout) but there was not a lot of it, meaning you may need to valet your car worst case if no self parking is available. After parking, before and upon entering the Breakers's hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. Did not make a difference if we were checking in or visiting, everyone was extremely nice to us. Security asked us to provide ID once we hit the lobby, they scanned us in and were then free to checkout the entire property. I found this to be excellent as in most hotels they are not really keeping tabs of who is on their property but seeing as this is an upscale venue, did not surprise me either to be quite honest. As you wander around the hotel lobby, main corridors and breezeways, you can really get a sense of the grandeur that is and once was back in the day. Keep an eye out as the who's who typically hangout at this hotel when visiting West Palm Beach. The architecture and decor of the common areas of the hotel were very beautiful. Their main bar area (known as the HMF) which is on the left side of hotel right off the lobby corridor was particularly beautiful and apparently where they hold many paid for events, wedding, etc. While we were there they had an army of staff preparing many of the areas for a wedding including the cupola room at the rear of the HMF. Speaking of the HMF bar, it was excellent and boasts an incredible wine collection to boot. A little for everyone at this bar. As expected the bar staff make some mean drinks and I can vouch for the Smoked Old fashioned as it was 1000% on point. While walking the hotel grounds you will see many pictures and artwork of the early period of the hotel that give you a real sense of the hotels importance in Florida. You can see that everyone from the Flagler's, Deering's, Rockefeller's, etc. all stayed at this resort at one time or another. Was also interesting to find out that this hotel had burned down several times and ultimately was rebuilt with materials (primarily stone and brick) to make it more fire resistant. Who knew.... All the staff were very willing to answer any questions about the hotel which was great as well. We could not really check k out the pool and club area as it was restricted to guests and members only, but from afar it seemed very nice as well. As far as the beach was concerned, well it's a Florida beach but they did have quite a bit of well placed rock walls on the beach to control erosion and the waves. This day it was particularly windy and the waves were really "Breaking" no pun intended. Overall, we really enjoyed walking the hotel property and checking everything out as this is a part of Florida history. Not sure if we will be staying at the hotel any time soon as it is quite expensive but I can say that the accommodations and location are amazing if you can afford them. Plenty of things to do and see in surrounding areas as well but that is for another review. Want to play Golf? No problem as the hotel has a beautiful golf course as well. If you can't stay not a big deal but I believe you should definitely plan on spending a half day there exploring a little and maybe having some lunch at their "Seafood Bar" restaurant right in the ocean at the rear of the hotel. Review forthcoming on that one and no spoilers but it was excellent as well. Enjoy your time at the breakers hotel and wishing you all a great day as well! read more
