The Brazilian Court Hotel & Beach Club

We worked at the Brazilian Court Hotel this past weekend for Ashley and Jason’s wedding. They got ready here and the place is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect environment for pictures and to prepare for a big event. It is classy, elegant, and stunning! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Highly Recommend! =)

Unfortunately, I made the mistake in not reading the Unilocal reviews. When making our reservations I requested a suite with a kig bed. Upon arrival, my wife and I were escorted to a suite with a queen bed, worn furniture and an overall dark, dingy hole in the wall. Upon complaining the front desk showed me another room with an idle back-​hoe positioned out the window by a ditch. I’m sure it was a lovely noise in the morning hours. Sorry sir but this is all we have. At $ 729.00 a night room charge you must be kidding. This place is terrible and needs a total renovation. Enough said.

Simply spectacular. Elegant, private, first class. Comparable to any boutique hotel you would ever stay at. Not inexpensive but, very special

Good news!!!
Heavenly new mattresses in rooms
Can now say this hotel is perfection
Housekeeping
Service staff
All incredible
We look forward to coming here 3 or 4 times a year
For sure we feel pampered and well taken care of
This is the ideal hotel for people who want to enjoy a European sensibility and ambiance
Can’t rave about it enough

Stayed for my anniversary
The grounds were well maintained
The room was wonderful, ambience, service and food outstanding
Pricey but definitely worth every penny
Highly advise!

Hotel is poorly managed.
The grounds are quaint but nice, hotel has the feel of a vintage home. The rooms are small and more of a bed and breakfast type than a large scale luxury hotel. Valet service is good, but we were often waiting for an attendant to appear.
Location is not within walking distance of anywhere, hotel is situated in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Roughly 1.5 mile walk over the bridge to get into West Palm Beach and Clematis Street area.
We had the unfortunate experience of a non-​stop fire alarm going off for hours in the middle of the night. Eventually we could not take it anymore and left the hotel. Hotel staff did not let guests know anything about the alarm status — whether it was necessary to leave the building or if there was a malfunction. We only found out when we decided to check out. Poor girl at the front desk had no idea how to contain the situation and Manager was nowhere in sight. Should have been at the front desk addressing guests. Poor, poor management.
Worst of all, there was an unsavory guest in the room below who was blaring electronic music in the middle of the night. I called the front desk, who assured me that they would quiet the guest, however there was no change. We knocked on the ground to alert the guest and he came upstairs and threatened to harm us. Heard his friend pound repeatedly on his door upon entering the hotel from the street entrance and talked loudly about going to the strip club. Cannot believe hotel would attract let alone accept a guest like this.
Worst hotel stay I have ever had, and have stayed in hundreds for business and pleasure. Situations that occurred were of course unique, however goes to show the hotel’s inexperience and unprofessionalism.

Beautiful and friendly service. The beds are HORRIBLE. The mattresses should have been replaced years ago. And the «beach club» doesn’t exist. The front desk gives you a chair and umbrella for the beach, not exactly a «club»

Hotel is not the same since it was renovated. They took away beautiful outdoor space and made the rooms smaller. It is dark and outdated. They should have left it in the Palm Beach style when I stayed there in the 90’s. I came over Memorial Day week and hotel grounds had a lot of cigarette buts and dirty glasses. Stay away from the Café Boulud restaurant. I had to send back my very pricey dinner because it was over salted and a tiny portion.

Felt like I was among the rich and famous staying here. The rooms are not giant but what they lack in size, they make up for in elegance and comfort. The rooms look like guest rooms in a nice house rather than a hotel. The shower was GREAT, the bed was hard to get out of it was so plush, and the staff was super friendly. The hotel has a couple of adorable courtyards and lounges in the halls which make you feel like this is a very unique space. The hotel itself is within walking distance of the main street and also the beach. I’m so happy to have stayed here and would stay here again if I ever make it back to Palm Beach.

Beautiful!
Checked in for a weekend staycation with some friends. We were a little bit early and were asked to wait which was perfectly fine with me. About 15 minutes later we were told that we were getting an upgrade for the wait. Hey, I will take it! Score! I did not know that the upgrade meant a suite. A huge, luxurious suite at that! That was very nice of them.
The hotel is spread out and is housed in separate buildings only 2 stories high with interior courtyards separating them all. All of the windows in the room have plantation shutters on them. The décor is kind of Bali meets Santa Barbara. Our room even had a wet bar with a wine fridge. His and hers closets? sure! The shower had the perfect water pressure. The pool area is small and quaint and only open from dawn to dusk. No night swimming for us night owls. We were told that it’s mainly because a lot of these suites are actual residences.
I unfortunately did not get to try out the Fekkai hair salon not the spa.
When it rains, as it did when we were there, it is hard to get to the main lobby if you are in one of the back buildings as we were. We had to cut across all the interior courtyards in the rain. There should be a way to connect the guests to the lobby without getting rained on. Perhaps there is but we could not find a floorplan in the room to guide us and no one picked up at the front desk to answer us when we called.
Upon check in the Unilocal app shows you get a free mimosa. I guess they need to specify «only if you check in at 4pm if not then you are S.O.L». This makes no sense to me. Who drinks mimosas at 4pm? I checked in, I have an app that says I get a mimosa, where is it? At some point we asked the hostess at Café Boulud which is about 35 feet from the check in desk about it. She said «it has nothing to do with us, we are not connected to the hotel». Really? «well tell me then, when the hotel decides to give me a mimosa will they make it appear from behind their desk or will they come get it from you?» Yes, that’s what I thought. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing and apparently they don’t know they belong to the same body.
Besides those small annoyances, the staff was always nice and happy to help especially the valet guys. The hotel is a gem. The rooms are gorgeous.
If you want something private, quaint and elegant. This is it!

Amazing service. Beautiful room. Great price for what we received in all aspects. highly recommend.

The challenge here is how to write a short to the point review, when there is so much to love.
To start:
It is the absolute perfect location from Worth Avenue. The service is top notch, from check to being escorted to the room — everyone is nice and smiling.
The bar:
The best mixed drinks around. I highly recommend a martini or bloody Mary. Probably the best bloody Mary n the island, they also have a nice wine selection.
Every room:
Has a distinctive personality. My suite was more like a opulent apartment then any hotel room I have ever stayed in.
The experience:
You just need to walk around and explore. There are so many interesting rooms, and the pool area is secluded and romantic. The hotel is in great shape and beautifully decorated. I suggest an afternoon glass of wine and cheese plate.
This place makes me wonder why I ever stay at the large chain hotels, when boutiques like the Brazilian court are so much more fun and interesting.
I’ll be back…

I stayed this past weekend with my wife. We were very impressed with the hotel. The rooms are amazing.
Cons: They give you everything in the room except a coffee maker. I am not saying I am against room service but sometimes it’s great to be able to have a quick cup before you go out and have breakfast…
Pros: Too many to mention, but should be noted the shower and tub are incredible.
We would definitely stay again!

1 of my fav Palm Beach hotels. Every time I come here I become completely relaxed. The atmosphere is very peaceful, quiet and serene. The hotel is always immaculate with simple modern décor. The restaurant is amazing and is my fav brunch spot also my fav hair salon is located here. I highly recommend staying here…

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The property is quaint and peaceful, services is stellar, and the rooms are very comfortable and cozy.
I can’t wait to go back!

Really nice spot i remember when they were refurbishing the place, I know that you can have your hair done by the Frederic Fekkai he has a little salon in the court, i know they used to do little party’s in the court yard too, James Patterson even wrote about this place in his book «The Lifeguard» The rooms are Clean, Small, and Simple as any Vintage hotel is, I think the Brazilian has been around for many many years, It is an older crowd, an older elegant crowd! So dress to impress in the classy not crazy way one of my fave places on the Island if your In Palm Beach you have to spend at least one night at the Brizilian Court

Beautiful Courtyard and Bar/​Lounge area. During Season it is a hot spot for locals. Hotel rooms are small and simple. If you’re looking for a quite, hidden spot this is the place. Located only blocks from Worth Ave, the beach, and restaurants. Primarily a choice for older, quite people.
