Not that you need an excuse to visit Palm Beach, but if you want one, we suggest a stay at The Colony Hotel to experience the newly outfitted guest rooms. Roxy Owens, founder and creative director of Society Social, curated the furniture along with Sarah Wetenhall, the hotel’s owner and president. “This collaboration was a dream come true,” says Roxy. “Sarah’s genuine passion for the glamorous revival of the iconic Pink Paradise paired with our playful brand ethos and our core proficiencies in working with natural materials led to a very clear vision.”

According to Sarah, the inspiration for the collection was easy. “It came from everywhere in the Palm Beach community, such as pieces seen in historic Colony Hotel photos, items sourced from local antiques shops, and even from my children,” she says. “It was essential that the décor feel authentic and site-specific to Palm Beach. The local history of the area influences even small design details in the hotel, but not in an obsessive way. We went with a more modern, sophisticated style.”
