White Elephant Palm Beach

Polished luxury · Quiet/residential · Beach access

Best for quieter, upscale stays and polished service — smaller property with refined rooms and a focus on residential-style comfort.

Quick Verdict: The Colony Hotel Palm Beach vs White Elephant Palm Beach

When The Colony Hotel Palm Beach wins: choose The Colony when you want a social Palm Beach experience — multiple outdoor pools (including the Florida-shaped main pool), regular entertainment, family-friendly services, on-site spa treatments with Naturopathica, and immediate steps-from-Worth-Avenue location.

When White Elephant Palm Beach wins: pick White Elephant for a quieter, more polished boutique stay with fewer rooms, refined room finishes, an on-property fusion restaurant (Lola), and a residential feel that leans toward understated luxury.

Bottom line: both are upscale Palm Beach boutiques within a short walk of Worth Avenue; The Colony is the livelier, more social choice with broader programming and more rooms, while White Elephant is a smaller, quieter option for travelers who want a more restrained luxury experience.

Dining & drinks: Swifty's & Pink Paradise vs Lola

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Dining & drinks

The Colony centers dining on Swifty's plus casual coffee and poolside options.

  • Swifty's is the signature restaurant serving American cuisine for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

  • Lola serves Fusion cuisine and includes a bar/lounge setting.
  • Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily for a surcharge.
  • Guest experience leans toward quieter, restaurant-focused dining rather than multiple casual outlets.

White Elephant suits travelers who prefer an intimate, restaurant-forward stay rather than many casual outlets.
