A Look Inside The Cottages at PGA National Resort

See all photos →

Location: PGA National (resort) vs Downtown West Palm Beach

The Cottages at PGA National Resort – Location

The Cottages are tucked into a secluded corner of PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, within easy walking distance of the resort’s golf club, spa and on‑site dining.

  • Short walk to PGA National golf courses and driving range; driving distance to area beaches (about 14–20 minutes to nearby public beaches).
  • About a 20–25 minute drive to Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).
  • Shops and The Gardens Mall are a short drive; resort also has designer stores and a grocery/convenience shop on site.

Choose the Cottages if you want to be in a golf resort neighborhood with easy access to spa and resort amenities.

Hilton West Palm Beach – Location

Hilton West Palm Beach sits in downtown West Palm Beach, steps from the Palm Beach County Convention Center, entertainment venues and restaurants.

  • Immediate walkable access to CityPlace (entertainment/shopping), Kravis Center and Clematis Street dining.
  • Hotel lists a complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle during limited hours and is close to transit and Brightline station (West Palm Beach).
  • Better choice if you want to be in the middle of downtown nightlife, theaters and walkable restaurants.

Pick the Hilton if proximity to downtown West Palm Beach and convention facilities matters more than a resort golf setting.

Rooms: cottages vs hotel rooms

The Cottages at PGA National Resort – Rooms

The Cottages are individually furnished two‑bedroom cottage accommodations offering a home‑like layout with free in‑room Wi‑Fi.

  • 21 two‑bedroom cottages designed with Serena & Lily; each cottage has residential styling and in‑room conveniences.
  • Access to resort facilities (spa, pool areas, restaurants) while keeping a lower‑density cottage feel.
  • Check‑in begins at 4:00 PM; check‑out is 11:00 AM (resort policy).

Rooms feel residential and are best for families or groups who value space and privacy.

Hilton West Palm Beach – Rooms

Hilton West Palm Beach offers standard hotel guestrooms (about 400 rooms) with city‑hotel conveniences and business‑friendly layouts.

  • About 400 guestrooms with in‑room refrigerators and LCD TVs; complimentary Wi‑Fi.
  • 24‑hour front desk, business center and multiple room types suitable for solo business travelers and groups.
  • Hotel check‑in policies and fees follow standard Hilton/partner rules; minimum age to check in listed as 18 and standard ID/credit card requirements apply.

Hilton is a more conventional hotel option with many rooms and easy service for business and leisure travelers.

Dining & drinks: resort variety vs downtown convenience

The Cottages at PGA National Resort – Dining & drinks

The Cottages give you several distinct on‑site dining concepts, from a steakhouse and sushi omakase to diner and grab‑and‑go options.

  • Signature restaurants include The Butcher's Club (steakhouse), Sushi by Boū (12‑seat omakase counter), Honeybelle and Birdie’s Diner.
  • Poolside food and bar service and a lobby bar complement the on‑site dining lineup.
  • Reservations recommended for intimate venues (Sushi by Boū, The Butcher's Club) during busy periods.

The Cottages are strong if you want resort restaurants and specialty dining without leaving the property.

Hilton West Palm Beach – Dining & drinks

Hilton West Palm Beach houses multiple restaurants and bars and puts you within walking distance of downtown dining.

  • Three on‑site restaurants, a coffee shop and two bars/lounges; buffet breakfast available for a fee.
  • Room service available (limited hours) and poolside bar for casual drinks.
  • Walking distance to many downtown restaurants, theaters and nightlife at CityPlace and Clematis Street.

Pick Hilton if you like downtown dining options plus a few hotel restaurants for convenience.

Pools & signature amenity: multiple resort pools vs city pool

The Cottages at PGA National Resort – Pools & signature amenity

The Cottages give cottage guests access to PGA National’s multiple outdoor pools, a children’s pool and dedicated adults‑only spa pools.

  • Resort listings show multiple outdoor pools (variously cited as 2–9 across sources) including a lakeside zero‑entry pool and saltwater lap pool at the Sports & Racquet Club.
  • Children’s pool plus pool sun loungers, umbrellas and cabanas available for surcharge.
  • Pool hours and exact pool counts vary by listing; spa mineral pools are adults‑only (18+).

If pools and a family/adult split (kids pools plus adults‑only spa) matter, the cottages/resort layout is advantageous.

Hilton West Palm Beach – Pools & signature amenity

Hilton West Palm Beach provides a single outdoor pool and a hot tub suited to urban hotel guests and meeting attendees.

  • Outdoor pool, a hot tub and poolside bar; pool cabanas are available for a surcharge.
  • Pool hours listed by the hotel; pool access and hours are subject to hotel policy.
  • Pool setup is typical for a downtown hotel rather than a multi‑pool resort complex.

Hilton’s pool is suitable for a quick dip or post‑meeting relaxation but is not a multi‑pool resort experience.

Wellness & nightlife: destination spa vs downtown entertainment

The Cottages at PGA National Resort – Wellness & nightlife

PGA National’s 40,000‑sq‑ft Spa at PGA National Resort is a core draw for wellness‑oriented guests at the cottages.

  • Spa features include mineral pools (Waters of the World), Himalayan salt rooms, 32 treatment rooms and signature treatments.
  • Fitness center and group classes (Pilates, yoga); resort fitness center listed at roughly 33,000 sq ft.
  • Spa treatments generally require reservations; some spa areas are adults‑only and a minimum spend may apply for full access.

Choose the Cottages if a large, full‑service destination spa and wellness programming are priorities.

Hilton West Palm Beach – Wellness & nightlife

Hilton puts you within easy reach of West Palm Beach nightlife and performing arts while providing basic hotel fitness amenities.

  • Hotel offers 24‑hour fitness facilities, fitness classes on site and spa/beauty services nearby.
  • Immediate access to Kravis Center for Performing Arts, Clematis Street bars and downtown restaurants.
  • Hilton is better positioned for evening entertainment off property than for destination spa programming on site.

Pick Hilton if you want walkable downtown nightlife and theater options; pick the cottages for a dedicated on‑site spa experience.
