Palm Beach Book

In the early 1900s, oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler became interested in the South Florida coast and began developing an exclusive resort community there. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he continued to build hotels in hopes that the first American families would come to populate the area. This modest area would later become an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty and American movie stars, where some of the country's leading families would erect their second homes. Over the course of the century, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury retreat synonymous with glamour and sophistication belonging to both the new world and the old.

In this splendid volume entitled "Palm Beach" presented by Assouline, Aerin Lauder, a longtime resident and social partner of the area, takes us through her vision of Palm Beach. From her favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to the homes she's particularly fond of, she takes us on an elite shopping spree down Worth Avenue and the scenic alleys of the Lake Worth Trail, all the while reminiscing about the stories, faces and places that are identified with Palm Beach. Discover a book with colorful illustrations that call for Travel and nostalgia.
