The Palms South Beach is entering a new era with two fresh, eagerly anticipated venues and a new name - - The Palms Hotel & Spa. The tropical, boutique style property, which for years has been recognized for its charm and off-the-beaten-path luxury feel, is taking its guest experience to an unprecedented level in early 2009 with the addition of a new Aveda concept spa, The Palms Spa, and a signature restaurant and lounge, Essensia.
