Quick Verdict: The Colony Hotel Palm Beach vs Renaissance Boca Raton Hotel

When The Colony Hotel Palm Beach wins: choose The Colony for a small, character-rich Palm Beach stay — short walks to Worth Avenue and the beach, boutique dining, distinct design, multiple pools, and an on-site Naturopathica spa.

When Renaissance Boca Raton Hotel wins: pick the Renaissance for a larger, chain-standard hotel with substantial meeting and event space (about 15,000 sq ft), free self parking, a single outdoor pool, and closer proximity to Boca Raton's Town Center and Florida Atlantic University.
