Regarding the Palm Beach Oceanfront Inn, it's interesting that the owners chose a boutique hotel management company to run it.

They run quite a few South Beach and Fort Lauderdale properties.

Trust Hospitality offers comprehensive hotel management services tailored to the specific management requirements of each property. Understanding the unique nature of hotels, Trust provides customized solutions that address not only the operational needs, but also the lifestyle character of the property.

Our objective is to foster an environment of continuous improvements and streamline the work process resulting in highly profitable hotels. Trust Hospitality has successfully turned around many distressed and under-performing luxury and boutique hotels into highly profitable assets and market leaders.

Hopefully they can come up with a business plan that works for this property while modernizing the infrastructure yet keeping the overall integrity of the building and grounds.

I'm sure the rooms have long been de-tikified. I'm more worried about the vintage, original tikis on the front facade. When I spoke to the old owner a couple years ago, he seem attached to them. Hopefully he hasn't already pulled them down.

I'll have to swing by there and check it out.
