February 1, 2016

HIlton West Palm BeachThe highly anticipated Hilton West Palm Beach opened its doors January 29 to welcome local patrons and visitors alike. Related Companies, Palm Beach County, Florida, the city of West Palm Beach and Hilton Worldwide collaborated to conceptualize and deliver an innovative, contemporary and forward-thinking hotel experience.

Located within the gateway to both Palm Beach and downtown West Palm Beach, the new 12-story convention hotel, featuring 400 guest rooms and 43 suites, was designed by Miami-based architectural firm Nicholas Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates and Dallas-based interior design firm Looney and Associates.

A double-height grand lobby features views of the hotel’s landscaped Palm Deck. Accentuated by a zero-entry expansive pool, private cabanas, Restoration Hardware furnishings and a poolside bar and fire pit, the three quarter-acre outdoor lanai delivers a relaxed island-style ambience.

Connected to The Palm Beach County Convention Center via an enclosed walkway, Hilton West Palm Beach earns distinction as the only hotel in South Florida to be directly connected to a convention center. The property offers more than 24,000 sf of meeting space, including the 13,350-sf Oceana Ballroom and the 5,800-sf Coral Ballroom as well as two 2,400-sf expansive lawn spaces for special events and fitness programming. With an in-house panel of experts to provide programs for teambuilding, including glow-in-the-dark lawn games, scavenger hunts and outdoor bootcamp fitness classes, the hotel goes the extra mile to enrich the group experience. Guests also have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center and specialty classes, a flotation menu featuring inflatable toys and rafts for relaxing in-pool, oversized chessboard, outdoor fire pit and more.

Hilton West Palm Beach offers an immersive culinary experience including:

  • Manor, the hotel’s signature farm-to-fork style restaurant serving contemporary American cuisine, is led by celebrated Palm Beach chef Matthew Byrne, former chef to Tiger Woods and owner/executive chef of the popular West Palm Beach restaurant, Kitchen. Collaborating with chef Byrne is award-winning executive chef Miguel Santiago, bringing more than 20 years of experience to the hotel having cooked for presidents and dignitaries during his time in Washington, DC. Manor is located directly off the lobby and flows onto the poolside terrace.
  • Galley, the hotel’s lobby bar with a nautical design theme, will inspire guests to indulge in prohibition-style handcrafted cocktails and shared tapas, while overlooking the outdoor oasis. Guests can choose from custom wine blends and bourbon as well as on-tap local craft beers from South Florida’s fast budding beer scene.
  • Provisions marketplace provides locally sourced goods such as Rabbit Coffee Roasting Company, freshly prepared bites, cold-pressed juices and gifts from Palm Beach shops and artists.

The Hilton West Palm Beach was the vision of Related Companies, who developed the CityPlace directly across the street. CityPlace is a 72-acre mixed-use development created in public/private partnership with Related Companies and the city of West Palm Beach. It has served as the primary catalyst for billions of investments in the city since it opened in 2000. Hilton guests can enjoy access to more than 60 specialty retail shops, a distinguished collection of restaurants and bars and an open-air plaza with a distinctive water feature with dancing fountains.

Hilton West Palm Beach is located in the heart of the city’s cultural triangle anchored by the nearby Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Norton Museum of Art, Clematis Street and Downtown’s Art & Entertainment District. All are within a short walk of the hotel, along with Worth Avenue and Palm Beach, which is three miles away.
