The Palm Beaches are in the middle of a genuine hospitality renaissance. Across the 39 towns that stretch from Jupiter to Boca Raton, nearly a billion dollars in investment has produced a run of marquee openings and landmark restorations — and West Palm Beach, long the region's business and dining hub, now sits at the center of it.
The headlines belong to Palm Beach Island. The Vineta
arrived as Oetker Collection's first U.S. Masterpiece Hotel, an intimate restoration of a 1926 landmark two blocks from Worth Avenue. A short walk away on Royal Palm Way, the long-shuttered Palm House
reopened as Iconic Luxury Hotels' first American property, trading decades of vacancy for maximalist, sun-soaked glamour.
West Palm Beach itself gained its first ground-up luxury resort in years with The Belgrove Resort & Spa, an Autograph Collection retreat on Lake Mangonia pairing British-Caribbean design with a spa, multiple pools, and access to a Jack Nicklaus golf course — all minutes from downtown's restaurants, the Kravis Center, and the Brightline station.
The luxury wave runs south, too. In Boca Raton, the Beach Club at The Boca Raton
reopened after a nine-figure redesign as the centerpiece of the only private beach resort in the county, with new dining from acclaimed chefs and a half-mile of Atlantic sand. Together these openings span every style of trip, from grand-dame island glamour to modern resort comfort.
We track every new opening across the Palm Beaches so you can skip the dated inventory and book something current. With more on the way — including new builds in West Palm Beach's Nora District and the restoration of historic landmarks nearby — we'll keep this guide updated as the region's pipeline delivers.
