The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach, Florida




 
The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach, beloved by discerning sun-seekers for two decades, has everything you'd expect to find at a modern tropical resort - and more. Having recently undergone a $100-million transformation, this palatial hotel brings added luxury to the usual laid-back beach environment.

Occupying several acres of exclusive Florida beachfront property and with unfettered views of the Atlantic, the Ritz-Carlton offers unrelenting relaxation throughout. Sprawling courtyard pools, a 42,000 sq. ft. Eau Spa, a spacious conference center, tennis courts, golf courses, and numerous water-based activities - including dedicated facilities for couples, kids, and teens - ensure that the needs of every traveler are catered to.

Casual and fine dining are both on offer, with no less than five restaurants, lounges, and terraces to choose from. No matter where you eat or stay - from pool-side cabana to Presidential Suite - your visit is sure to be indulgent.
