WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
The Hilton West Palm Beach, a new 12-story convention hotel serving Palm Beach and downtown West Palm Beach, recently made its debut on the South Florida scene on January 29.
“Hilton West Palm Beach is a melting pot of people and this ‘unconventional’ convention center will be the place to socialize, enjoy astonishing food and attend business meetings for locals, convention goers and guests alike,” said John L. Parkinson, general manager, Hilton West Palm Beach.
Featuring 400 guest rooms and 43 suites, Hilton West Palm Beach was designed by Miami-based architectural firm Nicholas Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates and Dallas-based interior design firm Looney and Associates. Design inspiration draws from the peaceful fluidity of the lush Florida oceanside landscape and utilizes natural woods and contrasted neutrals with bright blue, gold and teal hues that aim to capture the physical characteristics of the Palm Beaches and indigenous artistic flair.
The striking new architectural icon features a double-height grand lobby with views of the hotel’s exquisitely landscaped Palm Deck. Accentuated by a zero-entry expansive pool, private cabanas, Restoration Hardware furnishings and a poolside bar and fire pit, the action-packed, three quarter-acre outdoor lanai delivers a relaxed island-style ambience with Palm Beach DJ talent Adam Lipson.
A focal point of the unconventional hotel is the strong commitment to fresh, quality food to create unique, top-notch cuisine for hotel guests and locals by an exceptionally talented team of celebrated chefs. 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.
- Galley, the hotel’s lobby bar with a nautical design theme, will inspire guests to indulge in Prohibition-style handcrafted cocktails and shared tapas.
- For those looking for food on the go, Provisions marketplace provides locally sourced goods such as Rabbit Coffee Roasting Company, freshly prepared bites and cold-pressed juices.
“We are creating an unforgettable culinary experience using our core principles of sourcing the best local ingredients, keeping dishes simple, full of flavor and delivering outstanding product to our guests in a spectacular environment,” said Chef Matthew Byrne.
Hilton West Palm Beach also features a curated art program that includes collaborations with artists including Zammy Migdal, who created a wall sculpture with more than 140 hand-forged iron sculptural elements, and life-sized photography by Chris Leidy, who draws inspiration from the world’s oceans.
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 square feet of meeting space, including the 13,350-square-foot Oceana Ballroom and the 5,800-square-foot Coral Ballroom as well as two 2,400-square-foot expansive lawn spaces for weddings, special events and fitness programming.
The hotel hired an in-house panel of experts to provide programs for teambuilding, including glow-in-the-dark lawn games, scavenger hunts and outdoor boot camp fitness classes. Guests also have access to a modern gym, a floatation menu for the pool, an oversized chessboard and outdoor fire pit.
Hilton West Palm Beach is located in the city’s cultural triangle anchored by the nearby Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Norton Museum of Art, Clematis Street and the Art & Entertainment District.
