Local favorite Avery Sommers is returning to The Colony Hotel for her fourth engagement since making her Royal Room debut in August 2008. She recently returned from NYC where she wowed the musically savvy crowd attending the closing night of the Mabel Mercer Foundation's 25th anniversary Cabaret Convention in Lincoln Center, and also headlined a knock-out run at The Metropolitan Room, one of Manhattan's finest cabarets. Avery starred on Broadway in the long running, critically acclaimed musicals Ain't Misbehavin' (where she replaced Nell Carter) and Showboat, and in two national tours: Chicago with Joel Grey and Chita Rivera and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas with Ann-Margret. A frequent co-star of Burt Reynolds (B.L. Stryker, The Man from Left Field), she also starred in Menopause, the Musical and as Bloody Mary in South Pacific. In addition, she produced and co-starred in the film Hiding Victoria with Anita Gillette. Last year, Avery released her powerhouse solo CD, You're Gonna Hear from Me. 

Host to Presidents Bush and Clinton, the Windsor's and other royalty, The Colony has been the center of Palm Beach society for more than 60 years, An intimate, friendly boutique hotel with British Colonial flair, it is just steps away from shopping on world famous Worth Avenue, and about 100 yards from a beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach. This landmark hotel recently completed an extensive $15-million renovation and offers guests the choice of charming hotel rooms, luxurious suites, spectacular penthouses and spacious two bedroom villas - plus beautiful grounds and Frette linens.

The Colony's popular restaurants include:
+ Polo Steaks & Seafoods, which is now Palm Beach's number one steakhouse, offering dining al fresco in the hotel's newly remodeled Palm Court by the pool
+ Royal Room Supper Club, which is widely considered to be one of the nation's premier cabarets
+ Café 155, which is a petit New York-style deli serving delicious breakfasts and lunches prepared in the hotel's award-winning kitchen.

In 2010, The Colony Hotel once again was awarded the prestigious "4-Diamond" rating from AAA. Last November, the hotel received the Palm Beach County Convention & Visitors Bureau's Providencia Award, South Florida's most prestigious annual honor recognizing excellence within the local hospitality and tourism industry. This was the first time in the 21-year history of the Providencia Award that it has gone to a smaller, boutique hotel. For more information, please visit www.thecolonypalmbeach.com.
