We need to start by saying that this is going to be different than most other lists. When people talk about the "best" of anything, the list is, by definition, up for debate. The "best" is a matter of opinion. That's why there are so many different "best" lists out there. So, how do we get a consensus? Well, the most common sense way would be a simple statistical analysis. So, here we go. We looked at some of the most-viewed lists of "best hotels in Palm Beach County" on the internet and cross-checked them for you.

The Top 10 Hotels According to Google Travel, Forbes, and TripAdvisor

Here's a table of the lists we are working from. The 10 best hotels in Palm Beach County according to Google Travel, Forbes, and TripAdvisor. 

Our Analysis

Following that, here is a table showing how those rankings translate into points in our system (10 points for the highest in a list, 1 for the lowest) then sorted by most total points.

Algorithms Might Not Agree With Your Opinion

Google's rankings are based on an algorithm including multiple factors: reviews, star rating, price, location, search volume, etc. Forbes' rankings are presumably made by 'luxury hotel experts', and TripAdvisor is more strictly based on user reviews and ratings. So, we get a good variety of stats and opinions here.

Our Take

Since all of us here at Waterfront Properties live locally, each of us obviously hasn't stayed a night at every one of these hotels. However, many of us have visited them for drinks, dinner, the spa, an event, or if friends are staying there. So between all of us, we have a good sense of the quality of these hotels, and we're all still debating over which ones should be ranked higher than others on this list.

Safe to say, everyone has their own favorites, and their own "best".

But if you're looking to visit Palm Beach County, we hope this is a good way to a quick summary of what you can find across the internet. Every vacation is different. Some people are going to explore the area and just want a luxurious place to sleep and a good location. Others want to spend their whole trip at a resort with all the amenities, never having to leave. To each their own. There are dozens of ways to reconfigure this list based on how you're looking to spend your time here. Regardless, this should give you a good starting point.

If you're looking to vacation in Palm Beach County, odds are you're looking for the best: beaches, pools, spas, golf, dining, shopping, or some combination of those.
