"During that time, I've witnessed Palm Beach's remarkable transformation from the exclusive enclave depicted in the show to a more inclusive destination where anyone can enjoy themselves. Make no mistake, many positives remain from the city's original, opulent iteration-think pastel poolsides and country club chic. But while Maxine has to fight desperately for access to that world, a luxury renaissance means the place is open to any traveler today."
"Something to note: " The Palm Beaches " of today encompass far more than the exclusive barrier island of Palm Beach itself. This 47-mile coastal destination includes 39 distinct communities-from West Palm Beach's vibrant dining scene just across the Intracoastal Waterway to Boca Raton's resort luxury 20 miles south. Together, they've done away with the gatekeeping without sacrificing the glamor."
Palm Beach has shifted from an exclusive enclave to a more inclusive luxury destination where a wider range of travelers can enjoy classic opulence. The Palm Beaches span 47 miles of coastline and include 39 distinct communities, from West Palm Beach’s vibrant dining scene to Boca Raton’s resort luxury. Historic hotels retain signature glamour: The Colony’s Dorothy Draper–influenced interiors and Swifty’s poolside rosé scene evoke classic Palm Beach, while The Breakers remains an Italian Renaissance oceanfront palace across 140 acres with hand-painted Florentine ceilings and longstanding family ownership. New openings such as The Belgrove Resort & Spa signal continued investment and accessibility.
