Ask for a room that's on the quieter Belvedere Road, as opposed to those facing South Olive Avenue.
DK Eyewitness "The hippest choice in the area, Hotel Biba is a motor inn transformed into a fabulous boutique hotel."
Gayot "A hip boutique hotel with a sixties retro look... Best suited to people for whom price is more important than amenities."

Keep in mind that the neighborhood can be a bit iffy.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"It's well located...and perched on the edge of the El Cid district. Suffice to say it's clean and fine if you just want a bed. Includes a simple Continental breakfast." Full review

"Offers undeniable curb appeal. It's a lovely property that’s a clear departure from Palm Beach’s chain hotels and ultra-luxurious accommodations. The 44 rooms vary widely in size and amenities" Full review

Concierge "Flouncy bedspreads, heavy drapes, and antique-style desks seem borrowed directly from a chintzy English country house, though the huge TVs are flat-screens."
Travel + Leisure "Registered with the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation as a historic landmark, the Chesterfield’s iconic white building has been used as a hotel since 1926." Full review
Michelin Guide "Located around the corner from Worth Avenue, this posh, white stucco property, accented with red-and-white striped awnings, embodies quiet elegance."
DK Eyewitness "The sister hotel to the Chesterfield in London, this hotel is reminiscent of an English country manor with a bit of attitude."
Star Service "The hotel's Mediterranean-inspired facade transforms into haute Continental styling, with more than a tinge of townhouse-chic." Full review

Avoid the three units located just off the reception area, as these have soundproofing issues.
Rough Guide "Opulent boutique hotel, with antique-filled rooms and a popular nightclub, the Leopard Lounge."
Gayot "Built in 1926, this boutique hotel is located two blocks from Worth Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean."
Oyster4.0
