For many years following its construction in 1925, this hotel was recognized as one of the more prominent luxury hotels in Palm Beach and was a distinguished social gathering place for many visitors and residents.

The Mediterranean Revival style of the hotel building is representative of the 1920s Florida Boom era in Palm Beach and shows how that style was adapted to a hotel structure. The building best reflects this style through its use of distinctive Mediterranean Revival details, such as the long arcaded loggias, the twin towers, decorative brackets, arched windows, barrel tile, stucco-covered exterior walls, and other features.

Currently the hotel is divided into both residential and commercial units.
