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

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."
