Other Palm Beach resorts and hotels — The Breakers, The Colony Hotel and Brazilian Court — also earned honors in the 2023 Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards.
The awards are based on 2023 surveys taken by 500,000-plus Condé Nast Traveler magazine readers who rated their travel experiences in many categories — from best hotels and resorts to best cruise lines.
Of the 50 global resort properties in the awards’ “Best Resorts in the World,” the Four Seasons Palm Beach came in at No. 20 and Eau Palm Beach was No. 44.
Both topped the awards’ Top 10 Resorts in Florida category.
The Four Seasons earned the No. 1 position in that category with Conde Nast noting that it’s a “six-acre spread that has it all,” while Eau Palm Beach was No. 2 with its “pampering” and “Capri-meets-Santorini-meets-Palm Beach vibe.”
The Four Seasons Palm Beach’s General Manager Mazen Saleh said, “Being the first place our guests think of when reflecting back on their fondest vacation memories — it symbolizes our purpose behind every stay so beautifully. We hold a recognition such as this very close to our hearts."

In the Ten Best Hotels in Florida category, The Breakers, which Conde Nast also called a “resort,” took the No. 3 hotel spot with kudos for being “luxurious.”
The Colony Hotel, noted as “the buzziest place to stay in Palm Beach,” came in at No. 6, and The Brazilian Court earned the No. 8 position.
“By staying true to our mission, honoring the past while welcoming the future and leading with a people-first mentality, I believe we have accomplished much of what we set out to do,” the Colony’s president and CEO Sarah Wetenhall told the Daily News in an email, noting the hotel was “proud” to be recognized by the Conde Nast awards.
The Brazilian Court’s sales director, Stacy Lee, told the Daily News the hotel’s team was “honored” to be named among the best hotels in Florida.
“The service and comfort of our guests are our top priority and we continuously strive to surpass expectations,” Lee said. “We are grateful and humbled by their support.”
