NEW PALM BEACH HOTEL
Built in the evocative Spanish Baroque style, so characteristic of 1920's Palm Beach attitudes, the Palm Beach Hotel was designed by eminent New York architect, Mortimer Dickinson Metcalfe, and built by Thomas A. Clarke. It is the largest commercial building in this style in Palm Beach. The rich Spanish Colonial details include twisted columns with Corinthian capitals that line the 400 foot colonnade, twin mission-style bell towers that flank the entrance, balustrade railings, numerous cartouches, decorative urns, ornamental brackets and lion's head rain spouts, as well as the textured stucco finish with terra cotta tile roof lines. The building also incorp- orated current beaux-arts styling throughout the exterior and interior. Finished in mid-December, 1925, an astonishing six months after construction began. guests arrived for Christmas and New Year and the official grand opening gala was held January 9, 1926.
The Palm Beach Hotel Condominium offers hotel-like accommodations with the unique feel of a private condo- minium. Apartments may be rented on a nightly, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom suites are available, some with terraces. Most with full kitchens or kitchenettes. Each unit is maintained and furnished as a private apartment, so no two are alike.
Within the building there is an exquisite, island popular authentic French Patisserie, Patrick Leze, where you can have breakfast or lunch by the pool or on the loggia as well as PB Catch, one of the finest fish restaurants on the island. Also in the building are a full service bike shop, beauty and barbershops, stationer, consignment shop, shoe repair, floral shop and pharmacy and The Palm Beach Poetry Group that meets every Wednesday at 1:00pm. Directly across the street is a world class fusion restaurant, and within a few minutes stroll, a wide range of other fine dining venues. Banking facilities and a new state of the art super market are all just steps away.
Palm Beach enjoys the benefit of its closeness to the Gulfstream, and is noted for its mild, sub-tropical climate with year-round ocean breezes and average temperatures ranging from the mid 70's to the upper 80's..
The Palm Beach Hotel is an exciting destination for those visitors who want to explore the unmatched Florida beauty of Palm Beach at an incredible value. Close to the center of everything in Palm Beach, we are steps away from the beautiful white sand Atlantic beaches, gourmet dining, and famous Worth Avenue shopping. The Palm Beach Hotel is located just North of the Flagler Memorial Bridge, on Sunrise Avenue, one block from beach access, post office, fine restaurants and 5 miles from Palm Beach International Airport. Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike provide easy access to the Royal Park Bridge and Cocoanut Row and North County Road (via Okeechobee Boulevard exit) that leads to Sunrise Avenue.

THE NEW PALM BEACH HOTEL
Palm Beach has many thrills to offer this season, and among them the opening of the new hotels. Following a several months' existence, during the construction period of The Ambassador, as the new hotel on Sunrise avenue had been called, it was finally decided to change the name to that of the New Palm Beach Hotel, which is eminently fitting and will identify the present structure, under the management of Mr. W. J. Havill, as the successor to the ill-fated hotel which bore the name of the Palm Beach Hotel.
​
Work is going forward with lightning rapidity, so that the opening of the New Palm Beach Hotel is promised for Christmas Eve. Hundreds of workmen are concentrating upon this date, and it is confidently expected that at least the most important part of the hotel will be in readiness for the entertainment of its guests and that the completion will be early in the new year. The beautiful Spanish architecture of the hotel, wih its bell towers and a great roof garden and promenade overlooking the sea, which will accommodate 1,000 people, is much admired by colonists and the balconies and loggias, the attractive shops and other features of this new hotel are pleasing in the extreme. …………………………………………………………………………........................................................................................................…………
