Top pick for most travelers: Junior Suite — it gives a separate sitting area and a king bed, best if you want extra space. If you need flexible bedding or a lower-rate option, choose Premium Room (King or 2 Double Beds); families who want two beds should pick Standard Room (2 Double Beds or 1 Queen Bed).

Why these rankings
This guide ranks The Colony Hotel Palm Beach rooms based on space, bed options, and who each room type suits best. The property lists three room types: Junior Suite, Premium Room, and Standard Room.
I use only facts from the hotel’s published room types and the hotel dossier: room names, bed configurations, the hotel’s location and amenities such as pools, beach service, and onsite dining.
- Room types named exactly as published: Junior Suite; Premium Room; Standard Room
- Ranking factors: space & layout, bed configurations, suitability for couples vs. families, and proximity to hotel amenities
| Room Type | Beds (as listed) |
|---|---|
| Junior Suite | 1 King Bed |
| Premium Room | 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds |
| Standard Room | 2 Double Beds or 1 Queen Bed |
Best overall: Junior Suite
Why it’s top: the Junior Suite is the only suite-type room listed by the property and includes a King Bed plus a separate sitting area — a clear choice if you want more space to relax or work in-room.
Who should book it: couples who want room to spread out, or travelers who work from the room and prefer a distinct sitting area apart from the bed.
- Bed: 1 King Bed (as listed by the hotel)
- Includes a sitting area (suite layout noted in property materials)
- Good for longer stays or anyone who wants extra in-room living space
| Good for | Why |
|---|---|
| Couples | King bed and separate sitting area |
| Business travelers | Extra space for working or informal meetings |
| Longer stays | More living area than standard rooms |
Best for flexible sleeping arrangements: Premium Room
Premium Room offers the option of 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds, which makes it the most adaptable choice if you’re traveling with a friend or want the king for two adults.
It’s a good middle-ground between the Junior Suite and Standard Room: more flexible bedding than the Standard Room and typically priced below suites (specific rates are not listed here).
- Bed choices: 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds
- Good for pairs who may prefer separate beds or a single king
- Often recommended for travelers seeking a balance of space and value
| Scenario | Recommended bedding |
|---|---|
| Couple | 1 King Bed |
| Two friends or parent + child | 2 Double Beds |
| Value-conscious travelers who want flexibility | Premium Room |
Best for families or groups needing multiple beds: Standard Room
Standard Room comes with either 2 Double Beds or 1 Queen Bed, making it the straightforward choice for families or groups that need double beds.
If you need two separate sleeping surfaces without booking a suite, this is the room type the hotel lists for that configuration.
- Bed choices: 2 Double Beds or 1 Queen Bed
- Good pick for families with children or small groups sharing a room
- Book childcare or babysitting through the hotel if you need on-site childcare (surcharge)
| Family size | Recommended room |
|---|---|
| Parent + 1–2 children | Standard Room (2 Double Beds) |
| Two adults wanting separate beds | Standard Room (2 Double Beds) |
| Single traveler | Standard Room (1 Queen Bed) may suffice |
How room choice ties to hotel amenities
All room types benefit from the same property amenities: outdoor pools, beach butler service with chairs and umbrellas, a free beach shuttle, complimentary bicycles, on-site dining (Swifty’s and Pink Paradise Café), and free Wi‑Fi.
If pool or beach time is a priority, any room will give you access to those services; certain villa and bungalow pools are reserved for those specific guests, while the main hotel pool is available to general guests.
- Pool access: main hotel pools available to guests (the property lists multiple pools; some pools are reserved for villa or bungalow guests)
- Beach access: private beach access with Beach Butler service and a free beach shuttle
- Dining: Swifty’s and Pink Paradise Café are on-site (Pink Paradise Café open 7:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.)
| Amenity | Availability to room guests |
|---|---|
| Main hotel pool | Available to general guests |
| Villa/bungalow pools | Reserved for villa or bungalow guests only |
| Beach Butler / shuttle | Available to hotel guests |
Location considerations when choosing a room
The Colony Hotel Palm Beach sits at 155 Hammon Avenue at the start of Worth Avenue and is a very short walk to shops and beaches. If proximity to Worth Avenue or the beach matters, any room gives you immediate access to those nearby attractions.
The hotel is also close to cultural sites (Society of the Four Arts, Flagler Museum) and transport options like Palm Beach International Airport and Brightline (both a short drive away). Room choice won’t change this central location benefit.
- Address: 155 Hammon Ave, Palm Beach, FL 33480
- Worth Avenue is about a 1-minute walk from the hotel; nearby beaches are a short walk as well
- Nearest airport: Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) — a short drive from the hotel
| Nearby | Approximate access |
|---|---|
| Worth Avenue | 1-minute walk (hotel at the start of Worth Ave) |
| Midtown / Municipal Beach | Short walk from hotel |
| Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) | Short drive |
