COLONY HOTEL AND CABANA CLUB - Delray Beach

The hotel was perfect, convenient, romantic, good yoga class with live music. We'll be back next year for 2014 Delray Beach Twilight Festival.

The hotel is well-located and charmingly decorated. Rooms were impeccably clean and attractive. The dining area is not air-conditioned, which can be uncomfortable in hot & humid weather. We were there on St. Patrick's Day, when you cannot reach or leave the hotel by car for about 5 hours (12:30 to 5:30). This was a major inconvenience, and we had to […] scramble to find substitute locations to shower and dress for an event. We would have liked the hotel to notify us of this inconvenience in advance. The cabana club is lovely--the limit of 2 paid guests was an unwelcome surprise, as we had more family members in town and were not aware of the 2-guest limit. Read more

It was fabulous! I kept going around and whispering to the staff what a great hotel it is. Refreshing, compared to all the glitz of modern hotels, yet mar-vellously maintained and staffed. Located downtown amongst the shops and night-life and easy parking. And the verandah - what a great place to relax and people-watch. Will never stay anywhere else […] in Delray Beach, and am raving about it to my friends. Ruth Read more

I enjoyed the historical hotel experience. It was nice to feel like you were staying somewhere other than a typical hotel. I would recommend to anyone and can't wait to visit it again. The Cabana Club at the beach was beautiful. It was nice to have access to a private beach and pool. All employees at both hotel and cabana club were very friendly.

Stayed here for 3 nights after cruise. Great location in heart of shops and restaurants, and only 1/2 mile - 10 minute walk to the beach. Loved the vintage style architecture and decor. Large room and bathroom, breakfast inclusive, free parking, and nice beach club add up to a great value!

Was very pleased from the moment I walked in the back door into the ballroom. Front desk and elevator is from yesteryear . Room keys are just that , keys! If you want state of the art look elsewhere ,this place is filled with charm. In the heart of Atlantic Ave nightlife and shopping. Pool and private beach are 8 blocks away.

Great boutique hotel, vintage 1920's feel, beautiful period furnishings. Absolutely great location on Atlantic ave, close to the action eateries. Hotel staff were all a joy, and very accomadating.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Historic south Florida hotel. Nicely maintained in old style. Good breakfast. Lots of good restaurants in short walking distance. Cabana Club has a good salt water pool and convenient access to beach. Lunch is available, but discreetly BYOB if you want adult beverages. Plenty of parking at both hotel and Cabana Club. If you appreciate the old and don't […] need everything new, it's a great place to stay. Read more

The only two things I did not like about that:the elevator and it was very hard for me for each time I had to open the door.the key system need to chance.

We loved our stay here. Our stay at the Colony was like stepping back into another era, with all the modern conveniences. It's a beautiful Historically registered Hotel from 1926. The decor is gorgeous and festive, the lobby and front patio is a place to be. Especially on Fri and Sat nights when they have live musicians entertaining there. The Hotel […] lobby bar is a place you'd expect to see Earnest Hemingway knocking back a drink. Please note, I like old hotels. The breakfast buffet was included in the room charge as was hotel parking. The buffet was varied enough with fresh food and good coffee. There is no gym, but there was yoga classes available in an unused open air banquet room. The cabana club is about 1.5 miles away, but very easy to get to with their shuttle or your own rental car. Plenty of parking there as well. The Cabana club lunch menu was delicious. Plenty of towels and chairs etc. The heated pool probably needs to be redone soon, but we spent most of the time on the beach anyway. What really set The Colony apart was the staff. John the front desk manager was great as was Adam. The bartenders and cabana club staff were all very attentive if you needed, otherwise they let you alone. Please note, The Colony allows dogs and there were plenty. I love dogs so it was no big deal for me. There were no problems that I ever saw with any of them. If you are looking to really unwind, downshift your fast lifestyle and transport back into another era, the Colony is the way to go. Read more

We were so pleasantly surprised with the Colony Hotel accommodations. We needed to stay in Delray for a couple of days while visiting friends and did an Internet search for a place that allowed us to bring our small dog. The Hotel was so clean and lovely with an old-time elegance. The breakfasts were delicious, with choices that my husband and I both […] liked! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The Hotel is in a wonderful location, near shops and restaurants, but not too noisy. We visited the cabana club on the beach each day and our pup went with us. Great place! Read more

Had good fortune to visit Colony Hotel & Beach Club for 3 nights in March 2011. Internet ad does not do it justice ! Very comfortable, relaxed and easy place to stay in the middle of 100 shops and nice restaurants on the E Atlantic Ave strip in Delray, Florida. Ask for classic double room with king-size bed, preferably in back of hotel. Only 2 stories […] and elevator is manual and run by staff night & day ! Good safe self-parking in back. Nice scene of older and middle aged guests and some very sweet dogs(hotel is dog friendly). Less than 30 minutes from PBI on route 95 and in easy shot of Boca Raton and Palm Beach for day trip or night out. Very nice private Beach Club about 2 minutes away with hotel shuttle or car or 10 minute walk (i.5 miles easy walk)) Beats the newer hotels at the beach by a mile ! Middle Aged Couple Read more

This hotel is greatly misrepresented in the online pictures and description. It is a very beat building that has been dressed up in pretty, bright colors. To use the elevator, you need a hotel attendant. Much to our surprise, when shown our two bedroom accomodations we discovered it was literally two small bedrooms the size of dorm rooms with a bathroom […] in the middle. The furniture and bedding was very beat and not at all what was shown in the pictures online. No couch or other type of furniture for lounging, no where to fit it.. We originally had planned to stay for four nights and ended up changing hotels after one. . We were able to get a reservation at a beautiful new hotel with much more space for a cheaper price. The one positive was the wonderful breakfast served in the lobby Read more

Overall good. Beware the very loud train whistle every 3 hours especially during the night.

Just loved the old Florida charm and felt I had truly arrived in a unique place. Not just any old hotel room that could have been anywhere. Loved the cabana club. Great stay.

This is such a contrast to the 'modern' hotel and is a lovely place to be in - think pitch-pine floors, real art on the walls, great colour scheme, spacious. The staff are helpful in the extreme - all of them, not just the front desk. The barman at the bar facing directly onto Atlantic Avenue is a whizz. The shuttle to and from the beach club is punctual […] and it gets you to a very nice place indeed, The Cabana Club - where you can take as much sun and as much shade as you like and drop into a saltwater swimming pool whenever you like. There is no extra charge for this. Lunch is available there and is entirely appropriate in terms of variety, quality and price. The Colony is just a block away from my favourite bar/eating place, Johnny Brown's, where on my last visit I caught some fantastic rock music.. Above all, and note this those of you who still read, the Colony Hotel rooms give you PLENTY OF LIGHT unlike those modern boxes that offer you about 5 candlepower. There are plenty of those damned noseeums around but this is Florida! Take your spray and go there! Read more

The Colony Hotel is perfectly positioned in Delray Beach, with bars and restaurants within seconds of walking. The hotel has all the flavour of a 1926 built hotel with an interesting staff operated lift. The beach club is a real bonus with a great pool and facilities positioned right on the beach. We visited the beach club every day. We spent 4 days […] at the Colony, one week in the keys and decided to return for the last 3 days of our holiday. Read more

Hyvällä paikalla kaupungin keskustassa. Aamupala oli suhteellisen monipuolinen. Hotellin rantaklubi oli täydellinen rantapäivien viettoon, pyyhkeet, suihkut ja lounas. Suosittelen lämpimästi.

Wir waren durchaus zufrieden. Dieses Hotel an bester Lage im Herzen der Ausgehmeile von Delray Beach, ca. 20 Minuten zu Fuss vom Strand entfernt, bietet wirklich viel Charme und Authentizität und ist ziemlich das Gegenteil von den zahlreichen Kettenmotels der Umgebung. Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel und stilecht eingerichtet, die öffentlichen Räume […] (Lobby, Bar, Veranda) laden zum Verweilen ein. Ein Frühstücksbuffet ist im Zimmerpreis inbegriffen. Wir haben auch vom Cabana-Club (Privatstrand mit Imbiss) profitiert. Romantisch und trotzdem zeitgemäss (Gratis-WLAN). Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Read more
