About this property

The Palm Beach Hotel is a former hotel located at 235-251 Sunrise Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida, in the United States. The building now serves as a condominium, the Palm Beach Hotel Condominium, and, on part of the fourth floor, a Modern Orthodox synagogue, the New Synagogue of Palm Beach. Built in 1925 to replace an earlier building of the same name, the historic four-story former hotel was designed by architect Mortimer Dickerson Metcalfe in the Mediterranean Revival style, and was built by Thomas R. Clarke. In 1969 it became vacant and, except for several attempts to reopen it as a retirement hotel, it remained so until 1981 when it was converted into condominiums. On April 21, 2010, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as No. 10000212.
