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

Concierge "Flouncy bedspreads, heavy drapes, and antique-style desks seem borrowed directly from a chintzy English country house, though the huge TVs are flat-screens."
Travel + Leisure "Registered with the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation as a historic landmark, the Chesterfield’s iconic white building has been used as a hotel since 1926." Full review
Michelin Guide "Located around the corner from Worth Avenue, this posh, white stucco property, accented with red-and-white striped awnings, embodies quiet elegance."
DK Eyewitness "The sister hotel to the Chesterfield in London, this hotel is reminiscent of an English country manor with a bit of attitude."
Star Service "The hotel's Mediterranean-inspired facade transforms into haute Continental styling, with more than a tinge of townhouse-chic." Full review

Avoid the three units located just off the reception area, as these have soundproofing issues.
Rough Guide "Opulent boutique hotel, with antique-filled rooms and a popular nightclub, the Leopard Lounge."
Gayot "Built in 1926, this boutique hotel is located two blocks from Worth Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean."
Oyster4.0
"The Chesterfield Hotel is a boutique hotel that is also a historic landmark. It is more of a romantic getaway for couples than a vacation spot for families." Full review
Jetsetter "Boutique European-style beauty in Palm Beach with a pool and a restaurant three blocks from the ocean." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"From its old-fashioned room keys to the cookie jar in the lobby, this hotel aims for an old-world elegance that's much appreciated by its loyal guests, many of whom have been returning for decades." Full review
