Where to Stay for the Perfect Palm Beach Weekend Getaway
With its swaying palms, iconic architecture, and unmistakable old-world charm, Palm Beach, Florida is the kind of place that feels like it was made for weekend escapes. Whether you’re dreaming of a laid-back beach retreat, a romantic getaway, or a chic girls trip with sunshine and shopping on the itinerary, this Atlantic-coast gem delivers.
Located just over an hour north of Miami, Palm Beach is known for its timeless elegance and vibrant mix of history, culture, and coastal beauty. Think: morning walks on white sand beaches, afternoon cocktails by the pool, and evenings spent dining al fresco under string lights. And while the island itself is small, the hotel options are anything but limited.
Here are my top picks for where to stay on your next Palm Beach weekend — each with its own personality, perks, and perfect match for different types of travelers:
