#185: The Breakers (Page 606; Listed as Palm Beach and The Breakers in the 2nd Ed, pt 754)

Oct. 1, 2016
This picture was taken with my cell phone on the pitch black.  And it STILL looks this opulent if that gives you any indication into just how impressive this place is!

The iconic fountain that is the centerpiece of the grounds in front of the hotel.

I mean even the bathrooms are picture-worthy.


The hallways leading to the ballrooms.

The main lobby.  And yes, they're real.




And if you can't afford the $600/night room, then at the very least, you need to go to the Italian restaurant and order the S'more pie for dessert.  It's delish!

Verdict:  Yes.  Unlike some of the other over the top, awesome hotels I've been to, several of which are in the book, this one didn't have that "stuffy" feel.  Yes, there were plenty of "rich" people and yes, our car was the only non-cadilac, non-mercedes, non-cadillac, non-maserati in the place (it's $30 to valet park btw, unless you get it validated by a shop or restaurant), but yet, it didn't feel pretentious and I didn't feel intimidated.  The staff was all super nice and friendly, there were families there and it was just a really, really nice place to be.  The location was great, the property was great, the food was great.  Everything about this place was great.  I highly recommend!
