I have stayed at the Brazilian Court many times while in Palm Beach for work - it is my favorite place in Palm Beach! The rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. And of course the restaurant is fantastic!! My only complaint would be that it is VERY pricy in season, forcing me to stay elsewhere.

The Trip Advisor extented the offer to me to write a review about the best travel experience that I had in 2011. Thinking back over this year I felt that the Brazilian Court Hotel deserved an encoure applause! I will explain why below.

My stay was in Feburary 2011 for 5 nights. We stayed in a second floor suite overlooking the main courtyard. It was my second stay at the BC.

Here a some of my good points about the BC.

1. Location-very nice -short walk to the beach or Worth Avenue.
2. Old historic hotel originally buit in 1929 and since renovated . Many of the suites are privately owned and are luxuriously appointed.Very highly rated by several travel magazines.
3.Cafe Bouloud- no need to have a lesser dining experience anyplace else.
If you are a single traveler, as I was on my first visit, having dinner at the bar is confortable and fantastic.
4. The staff were professional and efficient. My arriving flight was diverted from W. Palm Beach to Ft. Lauderdale. No problem- one phone call to the front desk at the last minute -and they sent a limo out to get me.We had a slight problem with the AC controll in our suite. A service man was there in 10 minutes to make an adjustment.
5. Ahhh the Courtyard-beautifully landscaped and well appointed with many stately Royal Palm trees.In the afternoon hours smooth Jazz was heard in the coutyard. Without asking , The Jazzmasters and Chris Bottti, two of my favorite artists were playing. Also it is wonderful to have lunch at an outside table of Cafe Boulud overlooking the courtyard.

I understand now that the BC has a beach club. The beach Club is located a
section of the Omphy Hotel. The BC takes you to and fro. This was not yet open during my last stay but since its opening the BC has been rated very, very highly rated as a " Beach Club" by Travel and leisure magazine!

Downsides to the BC:
1. None that I could see.

In my opinion, this is an adult resort. I do not believe it is for young children.

The BC is a CLASSY place.The BC is LUXURY. The BC is exceptionally fine dining. The BC has a relaxed atmosphere.When i travel to Palm Beach the BC is ME!

When at the BC order the Chateaubriand for two at dinner if available. Sublime!
When you are in Palm Beach live it upat the BC- you only live once!

We have stayed in this hotel several times, love the location, the rooms are a bit dark and if you happen to have a ground floor room, expect some noise from above! We thought that there were renovation works going on it was so noisy but were told that it was just a large family staying above. No apology for the horrible experience, just a very arrogant attitude from the front desk. Will never stay again. The only staff in this hotel that are first class are the bellman.

I had booked through a discount hotel website and was really surprised to not only be treated very well but also received an upgraded room. The place was beautiful, nicely situated, and the staff was A+ all around. I travel extensively for business and pleasure and can say that Brazilian Court was a total gem.
