While in the midst of a renovation and conversion from a Sheraton Hotel, the West Palm Beach Marriott immediately came to the aid of their community. While the hotel was closed to the general public, they opened their doors to accommodate a host of emergency personnel from such organizations as: FEMA, Florida Wildlife, Sheriffs Department, and Florida Highway Patrol. They also accommodated a number of hotel staff and their families, who found themselves without a safe place to call home.

Inspired by the beauty, grace and elegance of neighboring West Palm Beach mansions, the exquisite interiors of the West Palm Beach Marriott were designed with a wide open feel, which is immediately apparent when entering the hotel�s expansive main lobby and lushly landscaped outdoor verandah.  Custom-designed, casually elegant furnishings, combined with unique, specially commissioned murals and artwork is thoughtfully incorporated throughout the entire hotel for a contemporary and comfortably inviting atmosphere.

Now joining an elite handful of hotels in the world with a fully kosher kitchen, the West Palm Beach Marriott with 18,000 square-feet of meeting space also serves as the headquarter hotel to the all-new Palm Beach County Convention Center.
