See all photos →

Location: Palm Beach character vs suburban convenience

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Location

The Colony sits on Hammon Avenue one block from Worth Avenue and a short walk to Atlantic beaches.

  • Steps from Worth Avenue shopping and dining; Midtown and municipal beaches within a few minutes on foot.
  • Private beach access with Beach Butler service and a complimentary beach shuttle.
  • Close to cultural sites (Flagler Museum, Society of the Four Arts) and short drive into West Palm Beach.

If you want walkable Palm Beach sightlines, beachfront access, and immediate shopping/dining nearby, The Colony is the better-located choice.

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott – Location

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott sits in the central Palm Beach Gardens suburb, convenient to PGA National and regional shopping.

  • Located at 4000 RCA Blvd in Palm Beach Gardens; within driving distance of PGA National, beaches and local malls.
  • Complimentary area shuttle helps reach nearby attractions; not positioned as a walkable beach or luxury-shopping hotel.
  • Easier drive access to regional golf courses and business parks than the island of Palm Beach.

Choose the Marriott when you want suburban access to golf, shopping, and meeting venues rather than an island/beachfront walkable base.

Rooms: boutique layouts vs larger-brand inventory

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Rooms

The Colony offers a small set of room types in an intimate boutique layout.

  • Room slate: Junior Suite (1 King Bed), Premium Room (1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds), Standard Room (2 Double Beds or 1 Queen Bed).
  • Total inventory: 89 rooms and 16 suites, renovated in 2022 with refreshed public spaces.
  • In-room Wi‑Fi included; valet parking and typical boutique hotel services available.

Expect fewer room categories but individually styled rooms and suites with island-era character.

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott – Rooms

The Marriott has a wide range of room types and accessible options across a larger inventory.

  • 279 guestrooms with many accessibility and M Club (club-level) room variations and multiple suite options.
  • Rooms include standard tech comforts (flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi‑Fi) and laptop safes/desks.
  • Choices include mobility- and hearing-accessible rooms and multiple M Club access options.

The Marriott is better if you need lots of room options, accessible configurations, or club-level room variants.

Dining & drinks: local signature spots vs chain consistency

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Dining & drinks

The Colony centers dining around Swifty's, Pink Paradise Café, a poolside bar and The Living Room cocktail area.

  • Swifty's serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch/brunch and dinner with resort-casual dress code.
  • Pink Paradise Café serves espresso, pastries and grab-and-go items daily 7:00–15:00.
  • Regular programming: poolside service, live music, trivia nights and weekly bingo provide evening entertainment.

Dining at The Colony is focused, local in tone, and integrated with on-site entertainment.

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott – Dining & drinks

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott offers an on-site restaurant, a coffee shop/cafe, and a bar/lounge.

  • Full breakfasts are available for a fee; room service operates during limited hours.
  • Coffee shop/cafe and a single bar/lounge provide convenient, predictable dining on property.
  • More limited local personality in food/drink compared with The Colony; useful for groups and events.

Pick the Marriott for convenient, consistent dining options that support meetings and families.

Pools & beach: multiple lively pools vs single hotel pool

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Pools & beach

The Colony has multiple outdoor pools including the main Florida-shaped pool and poolside bar.

  • Three distinct pools across property types; main pool is a social hub with food and drink service.
  • Poolside bar and events create an active daytime and evening scene.
  • Complimentary beach amenities and shuttle extend the hotel's beach offerings.

The Colony is better for guests seeking a lively pool scene plus private beach access.

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott – Pools & beach

The Marriott offers a single outdoor pool and accessible pool features.

  • One outdoor pool (wheelchair-accessible) with a pool hoist on site.
  • Pool is serviceable for family and leisure swimming, but the property focuses more on meeting and event space.
  • Recreation also includes nearby golfing and complimentary area shuttle to local spots.

The Marriott provides a functional pool suited to families and business travelers, not multiple resort pools.

Wellness & nightlife: spa suites and beach yoga vs fitness and meetings

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Wellness & nightlife

Wellness at The Colony centers on an on-site Naturopathica Spa Suite and rotating wellness programming.

  • Naturopathica Spa & Healing Center operates daily 10:00–18:00 with massage and facial services.
  • Complimentary weekend and beach yoga sessions have been offered; nearby Palm Beach Fitness partner access for workouts.
  • Nightlife is intimate and on-property: live music, trivia, bingo and a cocktail bar atmosphere.

If you want curated spa treatments and a social evening program, The Colony fits that profile.

Palm Beach Gardens Marriott – Wellness & nightlife

The Marriott emphasizes fitness and business-convenience rather than boutique wellness programming.

  • Fitness facilities are listed; there is a wheelchair-accessible fitness center on site.
  • A health/beauty spa is noted as nearby rather than clearly an on-site full spa.
  • Evening options are standard hotel bar/lounge service without a boutique hotel's recurring entertainment calendar.

The Marriott is suited to travelers who prioritize a gym and meeting-focused services over boutique spa programming.
