The Palm Beach Hotel, built in 1925 to replace an earlier building of the same name, is an historic four-story hotel located at 235-251 Sunrise Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida. Designed by architect Mortimer Dickerson Metcalfe in the Mediterranean Revival style, it was built by Thomas R. Clarke. In 1969 it became vacant and, except for several attempts to reopen it as a retirement hotel, it remained so until 1981 when it was converted into a condominium, the Palm Beach Hotel Condominium.[2]

On April 21, 2010, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as No. 10000212.[1]

Part of the fourth floor is now occupied by an Orthodox synagogue, the New Synagogue of Palm Beach.[3]
