Director of Revenue Managment

The Ben, Autograph Collection

Overlooking the Palm Harbor Marina in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, The Ben draws inspiration from the spirit of Byrd Spilman Dewey’s historic Ben Trovato estate, once known as a lively gathering place for Palm Beach society. Today, the hotel carries that legacy forward as a waterfront destination where locals and visitors come together for conversation, celebration and a sense of discovery. Design details throughout the property reflect the curiosity and adventurous spirit of Florida’s early pioneers, creating spaces that feel both playful and refined. From rooftop views over the Intracoastal Waterway to vibrant dining and social spaces, The Ben embodies the kind of place that invites people to linger, connect and experience West Palm Beach in a distinctly local way.
