Palm Beach book by Assouline

Description

In the early 1900s, former oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler became interested in the South Florida coast and began developing an exclusive resort community. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he then built two hotels – he hoped that early American families would come to populate the area. This modest community would later become an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty, American movie stars and becoming a home away from home for some of the country's leading families. As the century progressed, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury retreat synonymous with old-world glamor and new-world sophistication.

In this splendid volume, longtime Palm Beach resident and socialite Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to favorite houses like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she takes us to the elite boutiques of Worth Avenue and the picturesque lanes of the Lake Worth Trail, all while telling us the stories, faces and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.
