The Royal Palm used to be a Crowne Plaza (The Royal Palm Crowne Plaza), then was stripped of the designation only a few years after I stayed there I believe. It's the closest hotel to ocean drive on the beach, next to the Loews.
It was a really nice hotel, but I've been back since and seemed to be going downhill. Maybe they've changed course yet again.
