NEW! THE BREAKERS
Palm Beach, Florida

We have made a commitment to you and our employees that we will only reopen our business operation when our property is in the same excellent condition it was when we closed. We have retained one of the nation's leading professional companies that specializes in post-hurricane remediation to clean, restore, and refresh the property. In addition, we have also retained 6 professional clean-up crews who are working diligently to clear and restore every part of our resort. Every tree is being inspected for damage, and we have almost 4,000 trees on The Breakers property alone.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.
