In Assouline's impressive coffee-table book "Palm Beach," Aerin Lauder, a former Palm Beach resident, invites readers to explore her personal version of Palm Beach. She shares her favorite eateries, such as Nandos and Renatos, and admirable homes such as La Follia and Villa Artemis. In addition, she takes us past the exclusive boutiques on Worth Avenue and the picturesque trails along the Lake Worth trail, while describing Palm Beach's rich history, prominent faces and distinctive sites.
In the early 20th century, Henry Morrison Flagler, a former oil baron, became interested in Florida's south coast and began developing an exclusive resort community. He built a railroad to make the area more accessible and established two hotels in hopes that America's elite would settle there. What began as a modest community grew into an iconic American destination where British royalty, Hollywood stars and prominent American families sought refuge. Over the decades, Palm Beach transformed into a luxury oasis known for its classic glamour and modern sophistication.
