We had a fantastic time at this hotel/boutique BCH. The all staff made our stay memorable. We walked to the restaurants, to the beach, shops... love the location, so close to everything. The room was spacious, clean and our bed so comfortable. The food at the pool was superb and as well the pool chairs were cozy. Thank you once more the all staff (reception, valet, bellman, room service, HSK....) for going above and beyond. We highly recommend this hotel BCH.

Wonderful stay here! The service from Meghan, Stephanie, Edgar, Carlos, & Dane was outstanding. We loved how the hotel offered transportation to different spots around the island on request and their response time via text was impressive. I loved the birthday amenity they added to the room!

We stayed at the Brazilian Court Hotel in Palm Beach for four nights. One of the nights was advertised as “free” on their website but the pricing lacks transparency. Our room was listed at $476 per night (before taxes and fees). When we received the bill, we saw that the “free night” was actually just averaged out over the four nights at a higher rate for the dates we booked ($599–$699). In other words, you’re not truly getting a free night — just a discount spread across your stay. Transparency here would go a long way.
The highlight of the hotel is absolutely the staff. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely make the property feel welcoming. The building itself has charm and history, but it does show its age as it approaches 100 years old. Rooms are large but dated, and definitely not luxurious.
Several amenities that drew us in were disappointing. The boat ride that was advertised never happened because the boat was under maintenance, though this wasn’t disclosed upfront. The bar was under construction, the gym was across the street, and the so-called spa left much to be desired. The pool is very small, and the jacuzzi is essentially just a bathtub.
As for dining, while the restaurant carries Daniel Boulud’s name, the food, though fresh, lacked depth and flavor.
If you order room service, note that there’s a service fee, a delivery fee, and a 20% gratuity automatically added. Again there’s a delivery fee for room service. Let that sink in.
Overall, if it weren’t for the incredible team who work here, the hotel would have little to stand on. The staff deserve the utmost care and recognition, because they are what make this property special. Without them, there isn’t much else to recommend.

This hotel is underrated. It was a 5 star experience all around. Every single Staff member was amazing. Seriously .. everyone. Meghan you were so helpful. Curtis, you made our dinner feel extra fancy and inviting. Andy, the perfect balance of professional and down to earth. Our housekeeping lady (I'm so sorry I did not catch her name) was so sweet and joyful and her red lipstick and smile looked stunning on her. And then our yacht crew... Chef's kiss! And I'm including the guy who drove us to the boat and back. I can't say enough good things about the staff and am disappointed in myself for not remembering everyone's names bc we came across deserve to be acknowledged here. My husband even made it a game of trying to beat the door/valet guys to getting the lobby door for me but I think he lost to them with a final score of 12-4 lol.
As for the rest of it:
The building history is beautiful preserved. Rooms are clean and spacious. The neighborhood is charming and safe. The pool is relaxing, and caters to the quiet ambience, instead of the party scene we're getting tired of seeing at most hotels nowadays. (Shout out to our cocktail server there too, and that passionfruit soda was a PERFECT refresher!). Hotel bar and restaurant were delicious, but for variety, you can also easily walk to other restaurants in the area (including buccans) . The hotel felt both small and big at once, in the best ways. It has all the services you might want (or need) at a big hotel: hair/nail salon, spa, restaurant/bar, pool, a small gym (sorry power lifters , it's mostly cardio, and a few hand weights), Pilates classes on the room iPad (though I believe there may be a yoga studio too). Yet its intimacy and personal touch reminded me of when I once stayed at a historic bed and breakfast, hosted by a lovely older couple. So did running into the same wonderful guests multiple times and having the kind of small talk that makes you forget they're strangers bc you both just comfortably shared a little piece of your world with each other (S, J, and B 🐕from NY who shared the pool and the yacht with us... As well as my "green goddess" lady who recommended Buccan... it was a pleasure to meet you all!). There's very little to not fall in love with here, and it was refreshing to step away from the commercial hotels. Without them overdoing the theme, it really did feel like we got a taste of the hospitality and character one would've experienced renting a nice hotel in the late 1920s. I seriously wanted to never leave.
Ps: fyi for those on a budget: this place can get pricey quick. Despite it being rated 4 stars, expect 5 star prices (and service) if dining/drinking in the area (including restaurants outside of the hotel). All the prices are fair considering the quality. And the hotel's restaurant tabs rightfully include a 20% tip regardless of your party size, but they are by no means trying to be sneaky as the servers are always transparent in letting you know it was included. Zero complaints here, but just be financially prepared to come here with a relaxed mindset so you can fully enjoy the experience, and in return you'll be happy to also enjoy many services that you weren't expecting to be complimentary, like a ride anywhere on the island, and a 2hr ride on the hotel's beautiful yacht (-reserve early. -yes, it is shared between up to 8 guests. -don't worry, there is enough space to find your own sitting area).
And of course, bring some cash, bc a tip to your housekeeper, bellman, or yacht crew is always a nice way to say thank you.
