About "Intimate Evenings" in the Royal Room
With a shiny new dance floor and music by Frank Derrick from the Palm Beach Pops, couples can arrive and depart on their own schedule. While there won’t be the traditional hour-long cabaret shows, guests will enjoy two performance sets by the evening's headliner.

The summer menu in the Royal Room is creative and imaginative, also reminiscent of the swinging 60s, and prepared by The Colony’s award-winning culinary team. Entrée items will include USDA “Prime” beef aged in-house and several fresh and delicious seafood selections. Best of all, many of the savory choices will be prepared with herbs and vegetables grown in The Colony’s all-natural on-site garden.

For dinner, performances and dancing in the Royal Room on Saturdays this summer, the cost is $100 per person, not including drinks. Without dinner, the cover charge is $50 per person with a two-drink minimum. Seating is limited so interested people should make reservations soon by calling 561.659.8100.

About The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach:
Host to American Presidents and British Royalty, Movie Stars and Corporate Czars, The Colony has been the center of Palm Beach society for nearly 70 years. An intimate, friendly boutique hotel, The Colony recently enjoyed a $9-million “reimagining” by internationally renowned designer  Carleton Varney. Now each room and suite is different – no cookie-cutter rooms here – put together with a lot of vivid upholstery, unique lamps, floral patterns and eye-catching artwork, many by local artists. The result is a happy, classy feeling that maintains The Colony’s traditional British Colonial foundation while making it more Florida spacious and Palm Beach specific.

Located just steps away from shopping on world famous Worth Avenue, and about 100 yards from a beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach, The Colony offers guests the choice of charming hotel rooms, luxurious suites, spectacular penthouses and spacious two bedroom villas, all with the latest high tech amenities such as large, flat-screen, smart TVs and Bluetooth-enabled telephones with built-in chargers, plus comforting slow-glow lights in the bathrooms, striped walk-in closets, luxurious Frette linens, and dazzling views of the ocean, the Everglades Club golf course and the town of Palm Beach.

Sporting colorful polo-themed murals by legendary photographer  Harry Benson and floor-to-ceiling pillars painted to resemble sophisticated bar drinks, The Colony’s popular  Polo Steaks & Seafood is the ultimate playground for Palm Beachers seeking good conversation, perfect martinis and great music. Friday nights are Motown nights in Polo with the soul-stirring sounds of  Memory Lane.

Over the last several years The Colony Hotel has won numerous prestigious awards, including the highly coveted  4-Diamond Rating from AAA (2015);  Hotel of the Year  Award from the Hotel & Lodging Association of Palm Beach County (2012); the  Quintessentially Palm Beach Award from the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce as part of the town’s Centennial Celebration (2011); and the  Providencia Award from Discover the Palm Beaches, the only time a boutique hotel has ever won South Florida’s biggest honor celebrating excellence within the local hospitality and tourism industry (2009).
