Early in the 1900s, oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler turned his attention to Southern Florida’s coast, creating what would become one of America’s most iconic luxury destinations: Palm Beach. Starting with two grand hotels and a railroad to improve access, Flagler envisioned a refined community for America’s elite. Over time, this once modest area blossomed into a playground for British royalty, Hollywood stars, and the nation’s most prominent families. Blending old-world glamour with modern sophistication, Palm Beach established itself as the ultimate luxury hideaway.
In this stunning volume, Aerin Lauder, a longtime resident and Palm Beach socialite, offers an insider’s tour of the charming seaside town. From Nandos and Renatos, her favorite restaurants, to the historic estates like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she explores the best of Palm Beach living. Readers will discover Worth Avenue's elite shopping, scenic paths along the Lake Worth trail, and the many faces and stories that have shaped Palm Beach’s storied past.
