Host to American Presidents and British Royalty, Movie Stars and Corporate Czars, The Colony has been the center of Palm Beach society for nearly 70 years. An intimate, friendly boutique hotel, The Colony recently enjoyed a $14-million "reimagining" by internationally renowned designer Carleton Varney. Now each room and suite is different -- no cookie-cutter rooms here -- put together with a lot of vivid upholstery, unique lamps, floral patterns and eye-catching artwork, many by local artists. The result is a happy, classy feeling that maintains The Colony's traditional British Colonial foundation while making it more Florida feeling and Palm Beach specific. Located just steps away from shopping on world famous Worth Avenue, and about 100 yards from a beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach, The Colony offers guests the choice of charming hotel rooms, luxurious suites, spectacular penthouses and spacious two bedroom villas, all with the latest high tech amenities such as large, flat-screen, smart TVs and Bluetooth-enabled telephones with built-in chargers, plus comforting slow-glow lights in the bathrooms, striped walk-in closets, luxurious Frette linens, and dazzling views of the ocean, the Everglades Club golf course and the mansions of Palm Beach.

Sporting colorful polo-themed murals by legendary photographer Harry Benson and floor-to-ceiling pillars painted to resemble sophisticated bar drinks, The Colony's popular Polo Steaks & Seafood is the ultimate playground for Palm Beachers seeking good conversation, perfect martinis and great music. Motown Friday Nights have become a local tradition with the get-up-and-dance sounds of Memory Lane.

In addition, The Colony's world famous Royal Room is widely considered to be one of the top three sophisticated cabaret rooms in the United States, featuring many Tony Award winners straight from Broadway and headliners from the classiest nightspots in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Manhattan.

Over the last several years The Colony Hotel has won numerous awards, including the highly coveted 4-Diamond Rating from AAA (2015); Hotel of the Year Award from the Hotel & Lodging Association of Palm Beach County (2012); the Quintessentially Palm Beach Award from the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce as part of the town's Centennial Celebration (2011); and the Providencia Award from Discover The Palm Beaches (2009), the only time a boutique hotel has ever won South Florida's most prestigious honor celebrating excellence within the local hospitality and tourism industry.
