Postcard from Palm Beach - Our Stay at The Brazilian Court
Jake and I just got back from the dreamiest weekend in Palm Beach and I had to share all the details, especially about our stay at The Brazilian Court. From the second we checked in, it felt like we’d stepped into another era… think old Palm Beach glam meets five-star comfort. Every single moment was special.
The staff? Beyond. They were so warm, so thoughtful, and truly made us feel like royalty. They knew it was my birthday and went above and beyond. From a sweet framed photo of our family in the room to a beautiful “Happy Birthday” leaf display on the bed that evening. They even surprised us with fresh fruit, and my team sent over chocolate-covered strawberries. They were both absolutely delicious. Truly one thoughtful touch after another.
The interiors of the hotel are so incredible, too. Classic and elegant without feeling stuffy. The lobby is breathtaking. Cozy yet grand, with arched doorways, warm lighting, and timeless details that make you want to linger.
We stayed in a king suite overlooking the pool courtyard, and y’all… it was stunning. Spacious, serene, and full of charm. The decor felt collected and layered – so much character, but still restful. It was the perfect home base.
Some of my favorite touches from our stay:
– Turndown service at night (I love coming back post-dinner to dimmed lights and cozy touches, it just feels so elevated)
– The house car that will take you anywhere on the island (we used it for dinner drop-offs and pickups, such a luxe perk)
– The pool, nestled in a quiet courtyard with swaying palms, food + cocktail service, and the most relaxing vibe
On Saturday morning, we borrowed the hotel’s bikes and did our favorite Palm Beach tradition, an early ride around the island. There’s just nothing like pedaling down Worth Avenue, admiring the beautiful homes and banyan-lined streets. Such a peaceful and special way to start the day.
After our ride, we had brunch at Café Boulud, located right inside The Brazilian Court. It was delicious and truly impeccable from the moment we sat down. The space is stunning, and the service was top-notch. Jake had a latte, I had a matcha latte, and they started us off with warm scones and the most life-changing butter. I’m not being dramatic when I say I’d like to be buried with it.
I ordered a bagel with smoked salmon and capers, and Jake had a classic eggs + breakfast plate that was anything but standard. Every single bite was perfect.
We also popped into their boutique – a tiny but well-curated shop with chic pieces perfect for a night out in Palm Beach.
One of the absolute highlights of the trip? The BC1 yacht experience. From 12–2 p.m., hotel guests can reserve a complimentary cruise aboard their private BC1 yacht—and it was magical. They whisked us down to the dock in their in-house golf cart, and we were greeted with drinks and the most gracious crew. The ride along the Intracoastal Waterway was peaceful and stunning. There’s just something about seeing a place from the water that changes everything. It was a trip-making experience. Elevated, relaxing, and such an unbelievable perk of staying at The Brazilian Court.
When we got back, we had lunch at Café Boulud again (breakfast was that good!). We split the burger, fries, and lobster roll. 10/10. No notes.
To top off the day, I booked a blowout at their in-house salon before dinner on Saturday night. Just one more little luxury that made my birthday feel even more special!
If you’re planning a visit, I can’t recommend The Brazilian Court enough. It’s elegant, welcoming, and full of charm. From the interiors to the staff to the unforgettable experiences, it’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. Already dreaming about our next visit 🤍
