where To sTay Turning into the majestic drive that leads to

The Breakers Palm Beach, you know youre arriving at a very

special place. Royal palms line the entrance leading to a grand ountain

and behind that, an elegant marble edice inspired by Renaissance-era Italy. Originally built by Henry M. Flagler in the late 1800s and

situated on 140 acres o Palm Beach, this iconic hotel boasts

540 guest rooms, including 68 suites enough room or the biggest

o galas. Interiors are designed to impress, rom the rescoed panels

in the lobbys vaulted ceiling to the live sh swimming under your

glass table in The Seaood Bar.

where To wed With its incredibly creative team o planners

and myriad venue options, The Breakers is theplace to throw a party in

Palm Beach. For outdoor venues, we love the Ocean Terrace, a second-

story open-air deck overlooking the pool and the Atlantic Ocean, andthe Mediterranean Courtyard, with its elegant ountain and statuary.

Ballrooms dont get more beautiul than the Gold Room, complete with

a marble replace and gilded ceiling, or the light-lled Circle Room,

a bridal avorite. For something more urban, the propertysPhillips

Point Club oers wraparound views o the city, the Intracoastal

Waterway, the Atlantic and Palm Beach. Late-night revelers can meet

up in te Tapestry Bar, lined with 16th-century hangings and sporting

a mahogany bar imported rom London.

When it comes to planning, The Breakers makes it incred-

ibly easy. The in-house event team is a one-stop resource, assisting

couples with everything rom menu planning to choosing the right

music or the a ter-party. Custom-create elaborate forals with the

most recently, actress Joanna Garcia and New York Yankees out-

ielder Nick Swisher choose The Breakers as a wedding venue.
