The Breakers is Henry Flagler's oceanfront resort in Palm Beach, rebuilt in 1926 on the model of Rome's Villa Medici and still family-owned. Weddings use the Mediterranean Ballroom, which hosts receptions of up to 400, and the Ocean Lawn, on 140 acres with 534 rooms.

The story

Flagler's Italian Renaissance Resort in Palm Beach

Henry Flagler opened the first hotel on this stretch of the Palm Beach shoreline in 1896 as the Palm Beach Inn, and it was renamed The Breakers in 1901 after guests asked for rooms close to the breakers. Fire destroyed the building in 1903 and again in 1925. The version standing today was designed by Schultze & Weaver, modelled on the Villa Medici in Rome, built in fireproof concrete, and reopened on 29 December 1926. It was used as an army hospital during the Second World War and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The resort now covers 140 acres and has 534 rooms, and it remains in the hands of Flagler's descendants. Weddings are held across several spaces. The Ocean Lawn gives a ceremony the Atlantic as a backdrop, while the Mediterranean Ballroom, around 6,100 square feet, is the largest indoor room. Celebrations range from an intimate gathering of 50 to a large reception for 400.
