The hotel

Right on the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach, The Ben, Autograph Collection is where laid-back luxury meets a splash of attitude. With 208 rooms designed to feel more like a cool friend's guest suite than a hotel, it's the kind of place where you can sip craft cocktails on a rooftop overlooking the marina, then head downstairs for dinner that’s anything but ordinary. The rooftop pool? Heated, of course. The vibe? Effortlessly chic. And if you're in the mood to seriously level up, there's even a yacht partnership waiting to whisk you away. Whether you're here for work, play, or just a proper escape, The Ben gets it—this is how you do Florida in style.

My stay at The Ben was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel like more than just a guest—they treated me like family. Everyone, from the front desk to housekeeping to the rooftop bar team, went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and having a great time. The little touches—like remembering my name and checking in with a smile—made a big difference. The hotel itself is beautiful, but it’s the people that make it special. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting. Read less

Had an amazing time! The hotel is just an amazing visual treat. The room was spacious and extremely clean. The beds are super comfy. Every time I stay at a Marriott I wish I had one of their mattress's. Overly sized step in shower with rain head. Such a lovely group of employees.

Had an amazing time! The hotel is just an amazing visual treat. The room was spacious and extremely clean. The beds are super comfy. Every time I stay at a Marriott I wish I had one of their mattress's. Overly sized step in shower with rain head. Such a lovely group of employees. I really appreciated the cashless tipping structure they offer. Most of the time we didn’t have cash in our pockets so this was a great way to acknowledge and tip the great service. Kudos to the chef at Proper Grit! Outstanding food, and the Key lime dessert bar with blueberry compote was amazing!!! Read less
