With comforting slow-glow lights in the bathrooms, striped walk-in closets, luxurious Frette linens on every cushy bed and dazzling views of the ocean, the Everglades Club golf course and the town of Palm Beach, the six newly designed rooms and two one-bedroom suites are now being offered at premium pricing.
