The Breakers Hotel Featuring The Music of Billy Yeager May 8, 2007

Master Musician Billy Yeager performs his eclectic translucent original music every Thursday through Saturday at The Ocean Grille. Members only, Private.
The Breakers takes pride in its celebrated history as it looks to the future - ushering in a new era of casual sophistication by investing $225 million in the ongoing revitalization and expansion of the resort since 1990.

Since 1896, The Breakers has enjoyed international acclaim.

Set amidst 140 acres of breathtaking oceanfront property, the resort offers an extensive range of services and amenities for the vacationing or business traveler
In 1896, Flagler built a second hotel, The Palm Beach Inn on the beachfront of the Royal Poinciana. Soon guests requested rooms "over by the breakers." When Flagler redoubled the hotel's size, he renamed it The Breakers. During an expansion project - the fourth in less than a decade - The Breakers burned down on June 9, 1903. Less than a year later on February 1, 1904, it reopened to universal acclaim. Rooms started at four dollars a night, including three meals a day.

The guest register read like a "who's who" of early twentieth century America - Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Astors, Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan vacationed alongside United States presidents and European nobility.
