THE BREAKERS PALM BEACH RESTORES IN-HOUSE CULINARY EXCITEMENT WITH DISTINCTIVE RESTAURANT EXPERIENCES
Hotel’s Own Talent and Alluring Concepts are Home Grown, Bucking National Trend to Draw Outside Chefs and Restaurateurs
PALM BEACH, FL – In the spirit of a true destination resort, The Breakers Palm Beach has cultivated its own finely honed talents to create an inviting array of nine distinct restaurant concepts that entice hotel guests to stay on property, and successfully lure locals to enjoy.
Each restaurant has its own identity forged by a unique culinary theme, a varying level of style and a one-of-a-kind setting. “Our goal is for each dining experience to be recognized in its own right with the appeal of a free-standing restaurant,” said Kevin Walters, vice president of food and beverage of the Five Diamond resort. "We aspire to do a variety of concepts really well, so guests do not have to leave our property for a great dining experience."
Walters was determined to revitalize the hotel dining experience, and completely reverse the current trend of quality hotels bringing in outside talent to operate their restaurant establishments. “Our on-staff talent, like our ideas, have been cultivated in-house and are our best-kept secret,” Walters said. “As a resort independent of chain affiliation, we are fortunate that our owners encourage our passion for taking an entrepreneurial approach,” he continued.
The team’s success encouraged the development of two off-site restaurants – Echo, located just a few blocks from the main hotel on the island of Palm Beach, and Top of The Point, located atop the Phillips Point building in downtown West Palm Beach.
