The Chesterfield Palm Beach

The staff, decor, and food were wonderful. The management went out of their way to make us comfortable. With jelly beans, fresh cookies, and coffee throughout the day, we were happy. No exercise room on site, but this was fine for our short stay.

It is a beautiful old hotel with touches of class everywhere you look, but staying in a vintage hotel has its drawbacks. Although the decor in general was a look into true Palm Beach style, the royal blue glued on ribbon that outlined each room was too reminiscent of blue painter's tape to be chic. The little pool courtyard is charming and being able to be served by the world class restaurant by the pool is a lovely touch. The location is perfect and being able to utilize the complementary valet service makes parking a non issue. Staying at this hotel reminded me of my staying with my favorite grandmother on the island when I was a child. Such a lovely spot. The only negative issues were with a less than cold AC and one staff person who was probably having a bad day.

Parking is almost non-existent because there are 1 or 2 hours daytime parking restrictions. Room was much smaller than I expected in America. Television and internet services were intermittent.

Great hotel that captures the essence of old palm beach. Great location too.

Went to see the Flagler Museum and the Breakers and the Paramount. Loved everything. Hotel had fresh Rose's everywhere and orchids. Loved the Leopard Lounge.
