When you’re craving a sunny stay, the White Elephant Palm Beach is the perfect spot for a sophisticated Florida getaway. Set in the heart of Palm Beach, just blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, the new hotel breaks away from the traditional Palm Beach aesthetic you may find around town thanks to its contemporary design, neutral color palette and sleek metal accents. Of course, there are still a few vibrant pops of color here and there too.

The 32-room property — built in 1924 and former home of the Bradley Park Hotel — boasts an impressive art collection (along with guided tours) curated by the owners, the Karp family. There are works by Japanese American painter Kenzo Okada as well as Donald Baechler, who rose to fame from New York’s Lower Manhattan art scene in the 1980s. Guests can’t miss Orit Fuch’s 54-inch round acrylic work “Lady of the House” that’s prominently displayed in the lobby.

The U-shaped outdoor courtyard is a peaceful oasis of lush landscaping while the hotel’s restaurant Lola 41 is the place to be for Asian-inspired bites and cocktails. Guestrooms and suites are meticulously designed with custom furniture and thoughtful amenities: From the colorful palm and flower prints to the authentic William Morris “Strawberry Thief” covering on console tables, sophistication and style prevail in every detail.

To get around town, hotel guests can hop on complimentary bicycles or catch rides in the fleet of BMW 7 series sedans to enjoy a day of shopping on iconic Worth Avenue at Chanel, Gucci and Bottega Veneta or at Royal Poinciana Plaza, where favorites like Roller Rabbit, Stoney Clover and LoveShackFancy have stores.
