The 1926 Mediterranean Revival courtyard hotel where Cary Grant honeymooned and Cafe Boulud Palm Beach operates from the ground floor. Old Palm Beach character, current service.
The Brazilian Court Hotel occupies a 1926 Mediterranean Revival building by Addison Mizner — the architect who defined Palm Beach's visual identity — on Australian Avenue, three blocks from Worth Avenue. The hotel's defining feature is its enclosed courtyard: a bougainvillea-draped private garden surrounded by the original Mizner arcades, where the afternoon tea service and the Café Boulud Palm Beach terrace operate in a setting that has been unchanged for a century.
The 80 rooms and suites are configured around the courtyard and the hotel's garden. The Bougainvillea Suites, facing the courtyard from the upper floors, are the most architecturally specific rooms in Palm Beach — Mizner's arched windows, terracotta tile, and the bougainvillea that has climbed the walls since 1926. Café Boulud Palm Beach, Daniel Boulud's Florida outpost, serves a French-influenced contemporary menu that is Worth Avenue's most sought-after restaurant reservation.
The hotel's Beach Club, accessible by complimentary shuttle, is five minutes from the property at the public access point nearest to the property's neighbourhood.
The Brazilian Court bougainvillea courtyard is the most romantic single hotel space in Palm Beach — the Mizner architecture, the garden, and the Café Boulud dinner create a honeymoon that is grounded in the island's actual architectural heritage. Cary Grant's honeymoon here (1934) is not the reason to book, but it is not irrelevant either. See all honeymoon hotels →
The Brazilian Court anniversary experience is built around the courtyard afternoon tea and the Café Boulud private dining room. The hotel's 80-room scale ensures that anniversaries receive individual attention from the concierge team. The Mizner architecture provides the historical weight that the occasion requires.
