What it means for travelers

The local airport is 5 miles away. That is the distance on the hotel’s Leading Hotels listing. Search for it under the code DJT: local station WFLX reports that Palm Beach International was renamed in July and that its code changed from PBI to DJT on August 18, 2026.
Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is the backup, 51 miles away on the same listing.
Rail works too. The listing puts West Palm Beach Station about a mile from the hotel.
It opens at the start of Palm Beach season. Expect rates to climb through winter.
New hotels have teething troubles. If you book the first weeks, confirm which restaurants and the spa are open.
