Rooms: intimate suites vs many guestrooms

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Rooms

The Colony is a small hotel with 89 rooms and 16 suites, designed with Palm Beach character.

  • Room types include Standard Room, Premium Room, and Junior Suite (exact names used by the property).
  • Free in‑room Wi‑Fi, some rooms configured for couples or families.

Hilton is practical for travelers who need predictable, full‑service rooms and hotel logistics.

Dining & drinks: boutique restaurants vs multiple outlets

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Dining & drinks

The Colony focuses on a small roster of venues—Swifty's, Pink Paradise Café, The Living Room and a pool bar.

  • Swifty's is the signature restaurant, serving breakfast through dinner on a set schedule.
  • Pink Paradise Café handles coffee, pastries, and light meals without reservations.
  • Regular entertainment: Monday trivia, weekly bingo, and live music poolside.

  • Main pool is notable for its Florida shape and active poolside programming.
  • Two additional pools are reserved for villa or bungalow guests.
