Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant makes grabbing a bite before or after a show a breeze, and the hotel bar is a chill spot for a nightcap. While there's no 24/7 room service, the nearby area offers late-night dining options within a short drive or delivery range. Breakfast is available—ideal for slow mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While 88 Palms keeps it low-key onsite, there’s no shortage of nearby nightlife. You’re a quick drive from downtown’s bars, lounges, and live music hotspots. Whether you’re in the mood to keep the party going or wind down with a quiet drink, you’ve got options.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious rooms, friendly service, and clean, modern amenities. The pool and garden area get high marks for being a great place to relax, and many appreciate the hassle-free free parking and convenient location close to both downtown and the airport.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is still undergoing updates, so a few areas may feel a bit “in progress.” The lack of walkable dining options means you'll likely need a car or ride service for meals beyond the onsite restaurant.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to West Palm Beach for a concert, 88 Palms Hotel & Event Center offers a stress-free stay with easy venue access, relaxing amenities, and great value.
