At a Glance
Those willing to take the scenic fifteen-minute drive to and from town will be rewarded by the warm and elegant interiors of Eau Palm Beach, which more closely resembles a private beachfront mansion than a resort property.

- Swapping stories with fellow travelers over drinks around the encapsulating terrace fire pit.
- The newly renovated public spaces, which seamlessly combine traditional and contemporary style (plus a hint of South Florida flair) providing a decent sense of place with a consistent room product.
- The array of marine activities that can be organized from just outside guests' doors.
Review
Formerly The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach the Eau Palm Beach boasts ocean front accommodations, knowledgeable staff and a fantastic spa, and is a great option for those looking to be removed from the action and for those in search of value in a luxury-oriented town.
The downside to the property remains its location. The beach continues to shrink due to erosion, and guests need a car if they want to go into Palm Beach for shopping or dining. That said, the drive into town weaves along the coast, offering a glimpse of spectacular mansions, and most people are perfectly happy to lounge by the pool rather than mess their pedicures in the sand anyhow. Add to that prices well below those at the Breakers, and the resort’s winning combination becomes clear.
