Dating back to 1896, the Breakers earned its moniker from the crashing waves on this resort’s stretch of beach. Travelers have come here for more than 100 years to admire the views outside as well as the Venetian chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings and priceless antiques inside. Guest rooms feature traditional furnishings and modern treats such as CD players and Playstations. The resort includes 10 tennis courts, 36 holes of championship golf, four oceanfront pools, fine shopping, a full-service fitness center and a luxury spa. The five restaurants and four bars serve everything from beachside lobster clubs to foie gras.
