The Brazilian Court Hotel
Old-money Palm Beach glamour meets modern boutique. Think mahogany millwork, green velvet headboards, Rosario Candela's courtyard architecture, and Terry O'Neill celebrity photography on the walls. Intimate but never dowdy. The crowd is a mix of old Palm Beach regulars and people who know the difference between a great boutique hotel and a sprawling resort.
Book a room facing the courtyard if you want the fountain views — the Wisteria rooms with patio or terrace overlooking the South Courtyard or pool are the sweet spot.
Why It Matters
A 1926 Rosario Candela-designed landmark that's one of the only properties on Palm Beach island that consistently makes both the Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure lists — year after year. It has its own private 44-ft Italian Solaris yacht (BC One) for complimentary guest cruises and Daniel Boulud's only Florida outpost for dining.
Built in 1926 by Rosario Candela and on the National Trust's Historic Hotels of America list, the Brazilian Court is an 80-room Spanish Colonial property that does everything at boutique scale — two interlocking courtyards with fountains, a private palm-lined pool, and Daniel Boulud's Café Boulud out the door. It sits about a 10-minute walk from the Atlantic and right around the corner from Worth Avenue, making it the most convenient address on the island for anyone who actually wants to walk somewhere.

King
Palma Guestroom
A newer design direction in a 400 sq ft footprint. Where the Wisteria rooms lean into bold contemporary Palm Beach, the Palma goes old-world Mediterranean. Hand-painted grasscloth bed wall murals, raffia lampshades, and sapele wood beds with cane head and baseboard panels, finished with leather-trimmed velvet pillows. Views face the North or South courtyard or downtown Palm Beach.
Palma One Bedroom Suite
The Palma suite takes the Mediterranean design direction into a 700 sq ft one-bedroom layout with a separate living room. Same grasscloth murals, raffia, sapele wood, and leather-trim pillows as the Palma Guestroom but with proper suite separation. Views face the courtyards or downtown Palm Beach.
Two Bedroom Lanai Suite with Terrace
The most exclusive rooms on property at 1,800 sq ft. Two bedrooms, poolside position, soaring ceilings, and expansive private terrace. These feel like having your own Palm Beach residence — just with hotel service at arm's reach.
Wisteria Guestroom
The entry-level room but far from basic. 400 sq ft with one bed and one bath, featuring a hand-painted wisteria silk fabric wall panel behind the bed, lush green velvet headboard, rich mahogany wood with brass, marble, and leather accents. A curated collection of Terry O'Neill celebrity photography on the walls. Views overlook either the North or South courtyard.
Wisteria Guestroom with Double Beds
The same 400 sq ft Wisteria room but configured with two beds — the right pick for two guests who aren't sharing. A selection of these rooms can connect to select suites for larger group configurations.
Wisteria Guestroom with Patio or Terrace
Same 400 sq ft Wisteria footprint with the addition of a private patio or terrace — the better pick if you want to sit outside without going down to the courtyard. Views overlook the courtyards or the palm-lined pool.
Wisteria One Bedroom Suite
At 700 sq ft, the jump to a suite adds a separate living room for proper space to spread out. One bed, one bath, and the same Wisteria design language — green velvet, mahogany, Terry O'Neill photography. Select suites overlook the courtyard or pool.
Wisteria One Bedroom Suite with Den
At 1,200 sq ft, this is a serious layout — bedroom, full bath, separate living room, and a private den equipped with a sleeper sofa. Good for a couple who works remotely or for families with one child.
Wisteria One Bedroom Suite with Patio or Terrace
700 sq ft one-bedroom suite with separate living room and a private outdoor sitting area — the courtyard or Palm Beach views from your own terrace is the real draw here.
Wisteria Three Bedroom Suite
1,600 sq ft three-bedroom layout ideal for families or groups. Three bedrooms across a sprawling residence-style suite designed for entertaining. The closest thing to a private Palm Beach home at this address.
Wisteria Two Bedroom Suite
1,200 sq ft with two full bedrooms and two baths plus a separate living room. Marketed to guests who want privacy within a shared suite. Select rooms overlook the courtyard or pool.
