Palm Beach's newest Cocktail Lounge: HMF



Palm Beach, Florida--March 5, 2013--Opened in December of 2012, The Breakers' newest restaurant venture, HMF, introduces a thrilling new take on the classic cocktail lounge. 

The HMF, named for The Breakers' founder Henry Morrison Flagler, is a nod to the timeless American glamour of the cocktail culture.  Hospitality designer, Adam D. Tihany, acting as a design consultant for Peacock + Lewis Architects, was challenged with the task of re-creating the historic Florentine Room into a "contemporary Palm Beach cocktail soiree." 

"The nostalgia and the glamour of yesteryear are quite en vogue, while palates continue to become more sophisticated," said Tihany.  "We conceived HMF to be an open, interactive arena of decadent delights, and to cultivate a distinctly social, dynamic and inviting environment for the resort's savvy clientele."  

For the remodeling of the former Tapastry Bar and L'Escalier, RGD Consulting Engineers was enlisted to create and manage the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing designs. RGD worked closely with Peacock + Lewis Architects to ensure that Tihany's vision was captured. 

The new space features an open theater-style kitchen, a wine wall, and two mahogany bars with the original high beamed ceiling and wrought-iron chandeliers. The HMF is opened daily and offers its regular menu from 5 p.m.- 10 p.m. and its late night menu from 10 p.m. - 1 a.m.
