Concierge "Those looking for a hip, modern alternative to British colonial and Italian Renaissance will feel more at home at this former motor lodge in West Palm Beach."
Fodor's "Luxury touches include Italian linens, down pillows, European-style duvets, and lavender-scented closets." Full review
Frommer's "Located in the historic El Cid neighborhood, just 1 mile from City Place and Clematis Street, the very cool Biba answers the call for an inexpensive, chic hotel that young hipsters can call their own." Full review

Ask for a room that's on the quieter Belvedere Road, as opposed to those facing South Olive Avenue.
DK Eyewitness "The hippest choice in the area, Hotel Biba is a motor inn transformed into a fabulous boutique hotel."
Gayot "A hip boutique hotel with a sixties retro look... Best suited to people for whom price is more important than amenities."
i
Keep in mind that the neighborhood can be a bit iffy.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"It's well located...and perched on the edge of the El Cid district. Suffice to say it's clean and fine if you just want a bed. Includes a simple Continental breakfast." Full review
OysterBudget
"Offers undeniable curb appeal. It's a lovely property that’s a clear departure from Palm Beach’s chain hotels and ultra-luxurious accommodations. The 44 rooms vary widely in size and amenities" Full review
