”To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning,
no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of
making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that,
there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the
journey matters.” - Harry Callahan

Located in West Palm Beach, Florida
just a stones throw from
I95 and one mile from the beach, downtown West
Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport, Hotel Biba truely is a
hidden gem. We had a chance to speak with General Manager, Jennifer
Reichert about this beautiful hotel. In Operation for
ten years, The
Hotel Biba is a unique and intimate venue for wedding ceremonies and
receptions, social parties or any special celebration. Reichert tells
Haas Design “We are West Palm Beach’s best kept secret. Although we are
one mile from everything, we seem a million miles away from anything.”
The Hotel is visually incredible,
sparking emotion with its
decor and brightly painted walls.
While all hotel rooms
feature items such as Serta mattresses, flat
pannel TVs
and free wireless internet, each room has its own unique
feel.
A great amount of thought was put into every aspect of the
design and decorating of every part of the Hotel. The 43 room
historic Hotel Biba has a feel closer to a bigger themed resort than a
small hotel. |

When asked why someone should have their event at the Hotel
Biba,
Reichert responds “We hold weddings here simply because
so many of our
friends and guests relayed nightmarish wedding stories. We are as
hands-on or as hands-off as you’d like us to be. We have no mandatory
rules, and believe each wedding should be unique, affordable, and
spectacular.”
Bars: One, featuring an outdoor garden seating area
Banquet Room Accommodates: 80 max. sit-down,
150 max. cocktail
Rooms: 40. Discounts available for wedding parties
Pet Friendly Hotel: No
AAA Approved: Yes
Catering: Does not offer onsite catering but supplies a list of approved local catering vendors for your event
Additional Ammenities: Continental breakfast, including local pastreis and local organic citrus; Wireless internet
Please support our venue of the week, Hotel Biba.
