The Bar/Lounge at The Breakers Palm Beach

"One of the most extensive wine collections in the world is housed here, keeping the hotel's six sommeliers busy, and the resort's eight restaurants and eight bars are all excellent"

"The Breakers’ 540 rooms include all of the modern amenities -- minibars, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and iPod stereos -- but most feel a bit cramped for the price"

"Eight restaurants, including the recently opened retro-chic lounge HMF and newly reopened Flagler Steakhouse — both designed by hospitality visionary Adam Tihany — will satisfy any culinary craving you have, from freshly caught seafood to classic Palm Beach cocktail-party fare with flair"

"The owners have spent $250 million since then, updating the rooms and ensuring guests have access to high-speed Internet while they lounge on the gilt-and-floral furniture"

"For a splurge, book one of the oceanfront units or one of the premium rooms with access to the elegant Flagler Lounge, where nonstop, complimentary food presentations help justify lofty rates"
