The Colony Hotel to Launch 'Intimate Evenings' Concert Series During Memorial Day Weekend

The Colony Hotel, which is widely recognized as the Palm Beach Home of the Great American Songbook, is promising guests and fans "Intimate Evenings" every Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through the 4th of July.

Hailed by The Palm Beach Post as "the best place on the planet for cabaret," The Colony's Royal Room is transforming into a refined Manhattan-style nightclub this summer, offering elegant dining and dancing on Saturday nights. "This summer the Royal Room will offer a mellow and sophisticated vibe reminiscent of that special era portrayed in 'Mad Men,' when New York ladies and gentlemen would spend their evenings dining and dancing at the Rainbow Room, El Morocco, the 21 Club or the Persian Room at The Plaza," says Roger Everingham, The Colony's Vice President & General Manager. "We'll offer leisurely fine dining, a trio playing music you can dance to from 7 to 10:30 pm, plus stylish Broadway performers, a Martini cart and perfect soufflés."

With a shiny new dance floor and music by Frank Derrick from the Palm Beach Pops, couples can arrive and depart on their own schedule. While there won't be the traditional hour-long cabaret shows, guests will enjoy two performance sets by such celebrated song stylists as award-winning cabaret and Broadway veteran T. Oliver Reid (May 23 & 30), concert headliner and Royal Room favorite Eric Comstock "The Young Man from Manhattan" (June 13 & 20) and other talented singers to be announced.

The summer menu in the Royal Room will be creative and imaginative, also reminiscent of the swinging 60s, and prepared by The Colony's award-winning culinary team. Entrée items will include USDA "Prime" beef aged in-house and several fresh and delicious seafood selections. Best of all, many of the savory choices will be prepared with herbs and vegetables grown in The Colony's all-natural on-site garden.

For dinner, performances and dancing in the Royal Room on Saturdays this summer, the cost is $100 per person, not including drinks. Without dinner, the cover charge is $50 per person with a two-drink minimum. Seating is limited so interested people should make reservations soon by calling 561.659.8100.
