Whether you’re traveling for a conference, meetings, or a quick overnight trip, having reliable go-to spots in a city can make all the difference.
At Dakota, we’ve spent years on the road meeting with allocators, industry professionals, and investment managers across the country and around the world. Along the way, we’ve learned firsthand which hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops consistently deliver. The ones that turn a business trip into a productive, enjoyable experience.
That’s why we created Dakota Recommends. The insider list for business travel exclusive to Dakota Marketplace Members, or with a subscription.
Built by executive business travelers for executive business travel, it’s a curated collection of hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and event spaces designed for professionals who expect more from every trip.
Unlike tourist guides, it’s built for business. Every spot is Dakota Verified, tested by the same team behind Dakota Marketplace and trusted by thousands of firms.
Now live inside Dakota Marketplace, Dakota Recommends includes more than 1,000 verified locations across 25+ U.S. cities, London, and Paris. Each listing features “Dakota Must Trys”... our insider dishes and experiences our team swears by.
Palm Beach
Just a bridge away from West Palm, Palm Beach represents the quieter, more exclusive side of South Florida’s investment scene. While known for its oceanfront estates and storied clubs, it’s also home to a powerful network of family offices, private investors, and wealth management firms who call the island home. Palm Beach continues to attract high-net-worth individuals and multigenerational wealth platforms, making it a must-stop for investment sales professionals targeting the ultra-wealth segment.
Prominent firms such as Bessemer Trust, Rockefeller Capital Management, and Tolleson Wealth Management have a meaningful presence here, alongside a growing number of boutique family offices. The island’s proximity to West Palm Beach adds depth to its allocator landscape, allowing visiting managers to pair meetings with institutional consultants, pension systems, and RIAs located just minutes across the bridge.
In short, Palm Beach blends luxury and access in equal measure, a refined hub where business and lifestyle intersect seamlessly.
That’s why Dakota Recommends now highlights Palm Beach inside Dakota Marketplace, bringing together the same travel-tested venues our team relies on when hosting events, meeting allocators, and cultivating relationships across South Florida.
Palm Beach Inside Dakota Marketplace:
- 5 Hotels across Palm Beach Island and nearby West Palm
- 22 Restaurants perfect for client dinners, investor lunches, and post-meeting drinks
- 4 Coffee Shops ideal for casual meetups or morning prep before appointments
- 3 Event Venues suited for receptions, private dinners, and networking gatherings
