Aptly named and newly renovated, the Heart of Palm Beach is a charming European-style hotel on the ocean block of Royal Palm Way--at the very heart of the island. Barely five blocks from Worth Avenue's distinguished shopping and fine dining, guests can take advantage of the hotel's complimentary underground parking and travel the island by foot--or by renting one of the hotel's bicycles.

The hotel's 86 rooms and two suites offer spacious accommodations in a beach house motif with large screen televisions; walls painted in celadon green, flamingo pink or Siberian blue; rattan chairs; crisp white linens, and overstuffed duvets. Many include balconies or terraces with tropical views and fresh ocean air whisked in from the nearby Atlantic beaches.

The Grille serves American cuisine throughout the day and night, and dining under the Garden Pavilion--an outdoor canopy equipped with soft breezes from tropical ceiling fans near the sundeck and heated outdoor pool--is available upon request.

Children under 18 stay free with parents, and a multilingual staff is on hand to make your stay simple and stress-free.

Meeting facilities with catering available include the Atlantic Room, which can cater to up to 150 people for an island board meeting or anniversary celebration; the Board Room, sized for a gathering of up to 20 for tea or an out-of-town business proposal; and the Grand Pavilion, perfect for a wedding reception for up to 100 guests.

Family owned and operated, the Heart of Palm Beach evokes a warm homestyle hospitality that is rare in South Florida--and offers more value than most resort hotels anywhere. This is the Palm Beach lodging venue for those who want a more understated experience in comfortable and private surroundings.
