The Palace's street level specialty shops insure safe, convenient "front-door" courtyard parking. Here, a shopper can enjoy browsing in a quaint, lavishly-landscaped, tree-lined setting and strolling through the meandering pathways and luxurious gardens that complement the Palace's classical design.
The distinctive Regency style architecture is distinguished by classical lines borrowed from Madame Pompadour's Petit Trianon Pavilion at the Palace of Versailles. Characterized by strict adherence to the balance and scale of elaborate, hand-crafted moldings and intricate entablatures, our Palace sets its own high level of classical elegance.
Designed by nationally renowned Palm Beach architect, John B. Gosman, the unique architectural detailing of the Palace includes a 55-foot bell tower, and Temple of the Winds capitals crowning each column.
