The latest addition to the Oetker Collection portfolio, The Vineta Hotel in Palm Beach is slated to open in late 2023. Paying homage to the hotel’s legacy, Oetker Collection will bring back the Vineta name, heralding a new chapter in the property’s nearly 100-year history. Its distinct pale-pink façade is a quintessential example of Mediterranean Revival architecture which Palm Beach is famed for. With Paris-based interior designer Tino Zervudachi at the helm of the top-to-bottom renovation, room count has been reduced from 53 to 41 to allow for a more generous sense of space. “The concept behind the interior design for The Vineta Hotel is to infuse it with a fresh Palm Beach feel by bringing in clean lines, a relaxed ambiance, and a stylish and younger feeling palette of colours,” said Tino Zervudachi.
The ground floor of the hotel will offer an eclectic mix of four distinct environments. The former Leopard Lounge, in its heyday a popular Palm Beach night spot, will undergo a full transformation, resulting in a restaurant space which aims to become an atmospheric space for laid-back lunches and buzzy dinners. The emblematic courtyard will be transformed into the ultimate al fresco dining destination with a lush backdrop. The poolside will offer a newly created Mediterranean-inspired indoor-outdoor eatery and a newly constructed statement bar will offer a play on the ‘American Bar.
