Johnnie Brown is one of Palm Beach’s celebrities – and The Colony’s mascot. Affectionately known as JB, he was the beloved pet monkey and constant companion of Addison Mizner, the famous architect who designed the Everglades Club and much of Palm Beach.

Did you know that JB once ran for the mayor of Palm Beach and lost by only 4 votes? In the 1920’s, this spider monkey could be spotted in the heart of town on Addison’s shoulder. Today, he lives on in every corner of the Pink Paradise – tending to our guests’ every need – paying tribute to our whimsical and nostalgic nature.

The Palm Beach Daily News described in 1969:

“The Colony Hotel imparts a feeling of elegance and importance to its hotel guests which is, perhaps, the basis for its air of distinction and popularity among the discriminating. For years the Colony has been the winter resort home for many in the International Jet Set, that elegant group of American and international ocean-hopping social figures.“

The Colony’s guest roster includes royalty, international tycoons, political figures and prominent persons and reads like a ‘Who’s Who in the World.’ Operated in a private club atmosphere, the Colony also has appeal for Palm Beach residents as a desirable place to hold dinner parties. The Maharanee of Jodhpur, the Shah of Persia, the late President John F. Kennedy, the President of Nicaragua, three kings and numerous other dignitaries have been hosted at the Colony and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were known to spend a month during the season in the Colony’s Vice-Regal penthouse.
