Palm Beach Biltmore
The Palm Beach Biltmore is a historic condominium in Palm Beach, Florida, United States. It is located at 150 Bradley Place. Constructed by the Southern Florida Realty Company under the ownership of Gustave Maurice Heckscher at a cost of $7 million (1926 USD), the building originally opened in February 1926 as the Alba Hotel, which consisted of 12 floors and 550 rooms. Ownership changed several times from the 1920s to the 1970s, going into receivership in May 1926, and then becoming part of the Ambassador Hotel system by 1928, being renamed the Ambassador Hotel in 1929. After buying the property in 1934, Henry Latham Doherty switched the name to the Biltmore Hotel, as he also owned the Miami Biltmore Hotel. Between 1942 and 1945, the hotel served as the training grounds for the United States Coast Guard Women's Reserve, also known as SPARS, and a United States Naval hospital due to World War II. After Conrad Hilton bought the Biltmore Hotel in 1946, a few other changes in ownership occurred from the 1940s to the 1970s. With the exception of the World War II era, the Biltmore Hotel opened each winter season until 1969–70, when the owners foreclosed on the property. In October 1977, Stanley Harte bought the hotel from John D. MacArthur and converted the interior of the main building into 128 condominium units; the first tenant moved in in October 1980. The town of Palm Beach designated the Biltmore Condominium main building as a historic landmark in 1991. Several notable individuals stayed on the property both during its hotel era and as a condominium.
