Concierge "Aah, the Breakers—one of the most famous, most exclusive, and yes, priciest places to stay in America (it's even snagged a spot on the National Register of Historic Places)."
Fodor's "More than an opulent hotel, the Breakers is a 140-acre self-contained jewel of a resort built in an Italian Renaissance style and loaded with amenities." Full review
Frommer's "This 140-acre beachfront hotel is quintessential Palm Beach, where old money mixes with new money, and the Old World gives way, albeit reluctantly, to a bit of modernity." Full review
Jetsetter "Historic Henry Flagler-built compound with a half-mile of private beach, four pools, two golf courses and a spa." Full review
Oyster5.0
"This sprawling 140-acre resort feels more like a Renaissance palace than a hotel." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler91.4
"This historic hotel, built by Henry Morrison Flagler, has "timeless Italian Renaissance–style architecture"." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Unsurpassed in terms of luxury when oil tycoon Henry Flagler built it in 1896, the Breakers outdid itself in a 1926 renovation modeled after various Italian renaissance palaces and gardens." Full review
Michelin Guide "The regal lobby's hand-painted, vaulted ceiling recalls the Palazzo Carega in Genoa."
DK Eyewitness "Palm Beach landmark, this Italian Renaissance-style oceanfront hotel is where old money clashes with new."
Star Service "This yesteryear hotel has been steadily updating its image to meet the needs and wants of 21st-century travelers." Full review
