Led by the globally recognized New York City-based design boutique, Meyer Davis Studio, Hilton West Palm Beach’s all-new look and feel begins in the lobby with the introduction of the new bar and encompasses all accommodations and al fresco spaces, including its palm-tree-adorned pool deck, and revitalized food and beverage destinations.
