The Ben

Southern hospitality in a unique location

The only waterfront hotel in downtown West Palm Beach, The Ben combines contemporary design with inspiring touches of traditional palm beach elegance.

The Ben pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of the original Ben Trovato estate of the late 1800s. Home to author and legendary hostess, Byrd Spilman Dewey, the estate put the region on the cultural map. Guests today can still enjoy the Southern tradition of cultured conviviality. The featured restaurant, Proper Grit, is a Florida Chophouse where you can dine on West Palm Beach’s only outdoor patio, with views of the Palm Harbor Marina and the Intracoastal Waterway. With a happy hour each night, it’s the place to see and be seen for locals and guests alike.

Guests lucky enough to be here in July will want to catch the rooftop viewing party for 4th on Flagler – Florida’s most spectacular Independence Day firework display.
