Visiting The Breakers Luxury Hotel Resort at Palm Beach, Florida

Happy Holidays :) Perhaps one of the most elegant places in Palm Beach, Florida is The Breakers Luxury Hotel Resort. I think their incredibly beautiful and detailed holiday season decorations must be one of the best in the world.
According to the Wikipedia; The Breakers Palm Beach is a historic, Renaissance Revival style luxury hotel with 538 rooms. It is located at 1 South County Road in Palm Beach, Florida, United States.
First known as The Palm Beach Inn, the original hotel was opened on January 16, 1896, by business tycoon Henry Flagler to accommodate travelers on his Florida East Coast Railway. It occupied the beachfront portion of the grounds of the Royal Poinciana Hotel, which Flagler had opened in 1894 beside Lake Worth Lagoon, facing the inland waterway. Guests began requesting rooms "over by the breakers", so Flagler renamed it The Breakers Hotel in 1901.
The original wooden hotel burned on June 9, 1903, after which it was rebuilt, opening on February 1, 1904. Rooms started at $4 per night, including three meals a day (in 2018, rooms started at $1,050 per night). Since Flagler forbade motorized vehicles on the property, patrons were delivered between the two hotels in wheeled chairs powered by employees. The grounds featured a nine-hole golf course.
The architectural firm hired by the Flagler heirs, Schultze and Weaver, modeled the 550-room replacement building after the Villa Medici in Rome, Italy. The firm worked with New York-based Turner Construction Company and a well-known local Palm Beach contractor, Eugene Hammond, who built the first theater in West Palm Beach and worked on the Palm Beach estate built for Rodman Wanamaker by Addison Mizner (which would become a Kennedy winter retreat in 1933).
The contractors decided to abandon the wooden construction for fireproof concrete. Built by 1,200 construction workers, the hotel reopened on December 29, 1926, to considerable acclaim. The lobby ceiling was painted by Alexander Bonanno, a classically trained New York City artist who taught at Cooper Union. This hotel influenced the Hotel Nacional in Havana, Cuba.
The Breakers Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The 105-acre (42 ha) listed area included 15 contributing buildings and one other contributing object.
On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter ranked the hotel seventh on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places. Today, the hotel and grounds occupy 140 acres (57 hectares) beside the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the most popular dining room is named HMF after the resort’s founder, Henry Morrison Flagler. Iconic luxury shopping stores include Ralph Lauren Polo and Lily Pulitzer.
The Breakers is currently a AAA five diamond rated resort and has maintained this rating since 1996.
