Hotel Palms

What guests think

The Hotel Palms draws praise for its friendly staff, clean rooms, and walkable location near the beach and Beaches Town Center, with a boutique, retro-updated feel and a relaxed courtyard that fosters a local, communal vibe.

Many guests highlight comfortable beds and appealing design; some rooms are small or have limited storage, and occasional noise from thin walls or the courtyard is mentioned. Facilities feel limited for some: front desk hours are short with texting support, the coffee shop’s hours vary, and a few note missing conveniences like ice machines or microwaves. Expect a charming, low-key stay focused on location and vibe rather than full-service amenities.

I have been converted. I have never stayed at a hotel where I felt this comfortable! It’s honestly hard to do this review because I want to keep it a secret because they are always so booked up! But we had an amazing time. Check in was very simple and uncomplicated, our entire stay was peaceful, never a problem with anything. We always had parking available, food and shopping close by, the beach was a beautiful walk thru the neighborhood.. I’ve already booked our next trip! The courtyard was a sanctuary at night and came to life on the weekend mornings. The coffee shop was booming and rightfully so! The absolute best golden milk I’ve ever had! Greg was incredibly personable and great to talk with. A very very laid back place which was exactly what we needed.

The staff are extremely friendly. The hotel rooms are clean and spacious. I was a bit disappointed that the desk closed before 6p. I needed ice and was not able to get any. Also, the person rooming with me did not have a parking pass. We had to call to inform them about her car so it would not get towed. All in all it was a great experience. We had left some things in the room and they held them for us until we could pick them up.

This was my third time staying at the Hotel Palms and it was just as great as the prior times. Really fun place in walking distance to all the cool restaurants and beach of Atlantic Beach. Rooms and beds were comfy, friendly staff, and welcoming environment. Had a live music and “cook out” gathering while I was there. Only one thing that was an adjustment is that the room I had this time had a shared door with the room next door and because of that I could hear everything the guess next door said and did! Awkward! Lol. Will make sure to ask for a room that doesn’t have a connecting door in the future!

It’s often difficult for a hotel to provide the level of community that many travelers seek; however, the Hotel Palms is able to expertly combine the comforts of a hotel (clean rooms, comfortable beds, customer service) with the cultural experience that of a vacation rental. Tucked into a neighborhood, steps from the active Atlantic Beach, you somehow feel as though you are a tourist welcomed into the neighborhood. With a lovely coffee shop for guests and locals alike, and a design that transports you to a familiar, yet non Floridian feel, the balance was certainly welcomed and enjoyed. I doubt I’ll stay anywhere else if ever back in Northeast Florida.

The lady at check-in was so accommodating and helpful. Also, best part- literally walking distance to all the restaurants, shopping and beach access at Atlantic Beach. Only place I'll stay at in the area!

The hotel was an older hotel. it had been updated, but still had an oldish vibe.Our room was very small. The space was maximized by having bunkbeds. With that being said, I would still highly recommend it. It was close to the beach within walking distance. It had many restaurants that were also within walking distance. The staff was very friendly.

Everything about the property was excellent, except for the absence of a closet and drawers in the room. There were only three knobs on the wall for hanging clothes, which proved insufficient. Typically, hotel rooms offer closets with hangers and a couple of drawers to stow your clothes, but in this case, none were provided. Additionally, there were no safety boxes in our room.

I’m a local here in Atlantic beach, and stayed on property for a staycation. This boutique style hotel is perfect for a little get away. Right in the heart of AB, you can walk to the town center and go get your favorite bite to eat and cocktails. The staff is always so kind and friendly. Your rooms are perfect with local touches like PeterBrooke chocolate covered popcorn, and checkered beach towels for your walk down to the shore. I will always highly recommend Hotel Palms.
