She walked into the room and asked, out loud and to no one in particular, “why can’t they build an underwater hotel?”
As a person who spends far too much time on the internet, I remarked to her rando question floated without warning into the tidepool of our otherwise tranquil family room, that, “I think I remember reading about a hotel that tried that. Let’s look it up to see if that’s a real thing or a Yellow Submarine dream of mine.”
The rooms of the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa could be those underwater accommodations, if only they were indeed submerged beneath the crest of the Atlantic Ocean’s relentless waves. Under the sea is the motif in color and texture, and in atmosphere and decor, but not in a Spongebob way although a pineapple wouldn’t be out of place.
This playfully elegant room swims a confident line between grand and gaudy. It makes use of a fair bit of bright yellow, and the color works in unison with the sea blue tea & Keurig caddy, thick royal blue bathroom mirror frames, blue-grey burlap-esque desk chair, the floral headboard worthy of Poseidon’s watery throne, a scalloped rainbow of blues wallpapering what my European friends would call the water closet, the dainty electric blue tassels dangling from that desk’s crystal knobs, and the nautical navy curtains trimmed with regal seafoam white.
The elegant Eau Palm Beach Resort pen then is the pencil fish in the bowl on an aquarium of a desk in the corner by the french doors leading out to a pool level patio with a chair swing and loungers beneath a light brown wooden trellis.
With the weighty heft of a silver sinker and a shade of blue blending together the sea and the sky, the pen found in the luxurious rooms of Eau West Palm Beach fully integrate the brand’s ethos of oceanfront opulence.
While not underwater, you will be floating in grandeur at the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa.
My little girl may still dream of a hotel under the sea, but she’ll be happily awash in the colors of the ocean here.
