Discover The Palm Beaches will be exhibiting at the International Media Marketplace 2019 on Monday 25th March, highlighting exciting new openings and major hotel and transportation developments.

The Palm Beaches, which is the collection of 39 cities and towns that make up Palm Beach County, are located in Southeast Florida – just one hour north of Miami and roughly two hours southeast of Orlando. While the destination is shaped largely through its storied legacy in the Gilded Age, The Palm Beaches continues to develop through vibrant hotel concepts, re-envisioned cultural institutions and intriguing attractions.

Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences

Scheduled for completion in late 2019, Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences offers a new paradigm of mindful living on Singer Island for those who are pursuing an unparalleled wellness lifestyle or a relaxing spa getaway. Amrit, which is Sanskrit for “elixir of life,” totals 351 units (hotel and residences) between two towers (Tower P - Peace and Tower H - Happiness).

Mandarin Oriental

Set to debut in Downtown Boca Raton in 2020, the 158-room hotel will be Mandarin Oriental's second property in Florida and sixth in North America. All rooms and suites will be designed in a sophisticated style, complimented with views of the Atlantic Ocean, golf course or downtown landscape.

The Breakers' historic Ocean Course

The historic championship Ocean Course, Florida's oldest 18-hole golf course, completed its full-scale renovation by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones in late December 2018; inspired by The Breakers' philosophy of balancing preservation and modernisation.

The Yacht Club at Boca Raton Resort & Club

In November 2018, Boca Raton Resort & Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, completed its 112-room self-contained Yacht Club. The $8.2 million transformation invites guests to enjoy exquisite views of the Intracoastal Waterway and picturesque Luxury Resort Marina.
