The Brazilian Court Hotel, a staple in Palm Beach, Fla., will open Casa by Brazilian Court, an experiential luxury retail space within the historic property, on Feb. 15. Its first occupant will be Fivestory, the New York-based women’s boutique owned by Karen Murray.
Courtney Schlesinger, owner of Brazilian Court, hatched the idea as a way to enhance the guest experience and approached her longtime friend Murray to be the first retailer to be featured.
Fivestory operates a store about a mile away from the hotel, but the aesthetic and the mix of the Brazilian Court outpost will be different. “Being in a hotel has always been a dream of mine,” Murray said. “And Brazilian Court is the best of the best. It’s beautiful, historic, glamorous and chic.”
“Karen has always given me the most unique and personalized shopping experience at Fivestory,” said Schlesinger. “I wanted our guests to have that same experience as if they’ve quietly stumbled upon a hidden gem of beautiful clothing and accessories with an expert stylist to match. This boutique should feel like an escape for women who want to feel ultraglamorous from head to toe when visiting Palm Beach. A vacation to the Brazilian Court is about refined relaxation, rejuvenation and fun, and I sought to bring that to this first collection.”
