In a hospitality move that could only come from Palm Beach and Miami, the Palm House Hotel has unveiled a new travel package that trades poolside Evian spritzes for one of the most coveted dinner seats in Florida. The “Michelin Moments” experience includes a two-night stay at Palm House and an evening of over-the-top dining at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, a two-starred Michelin restaurant.
The package starts with a stay in the hotel’s Flagler Suite, the sort of blush-and-seashell fantasy where you half expect Slim Aarons to materialize by the bar. Guests are treated to dinner in the Palm House Dining Room, a Japanese-Peruvian spot that smartly avoids trend-chasing and instead leans into thoughtful, seafood-forward cooking. The next night, a private car whisks guests to Miami’s Design District for the kind of meal that might require a little pre-trip fasting. The price? Two grand a night, plus taxes and fees—and also the bill at the restaurant.
L'Atelier’s caviar service
At L’Atelier, diners get priority seating, a complimentary welcome drink, and the full VIP routine. Still, it’s a chance to sit at the counter and watch chef James Friedberg’s team plate dishes with tweezers and exacting calm, just as Joël Robuchon intended. The signature counter-style experience remains one of the few places in Florida where you can reliably get caviar-topped potatoes, truffle-slicked pasta, and foie gras served with the kind of restraint that somehow makes it all feel modern again.
The collaboration is a meeting of two very different but equally precise worlds: Palm House’s breezy, design-forward boutique style and L’Atelier’s quiet intensity and French rigor. One offers scallop ceviche and blush marble, the other wagyu and rosewood walls. It’s a South Florida double feature where the throughline is excellence—or at least, very good taste.

Since the bill at L’Atelier isn’t included in the package, consider your line of attack, with either à la carte or tasting menus. L’Atelier spent three years as Florida’s only two-star restaurant in the Michelin Guide until Sorekara joined them this year. The L’Atelier seasonal prix-fixe remains the marquee draw—$89 at lunch, $185 at dinner. Guests sit at the signature open kitchen counter surrounded by rosewood and leather, watching a brigade of chefs turn out Robuchon classics with obsessive precision. It’s one of the few places in Miami where the pomp and the circumstance feel set to Parisian time.

The Michelin Moments package is available for a limited time. And while you might end up spending north of five grand on the getaway, isn’t this the kind of indulgence your Insta followers expect from you?
