🌴 The Royal Poinciana Plaza
The Royal Poinciana Plaza’s latest gem: the waterfront restaurant Tutto Mare. The iconic Palm Beach landmark — designed by renowned architect John Volk and commissioned by John S. Phipps in 1957 — has reinvigorated its waterfront. And what a beautiful view.
🍽️ Tutto Mare
A new lakeside restaurant, Tutto Mare, owned and created by Gabby Karan de Felice (yes, daughter of Donna Karan) and her husband, Gianpaolo de Felice, now sits along Lake Worth.
⭐️ The Celebrity Room
Once a legendary 1950s nightclub in the original Royal Poinciana Playhouse, the room features a restored trompe l’oeil ceiling mural by artist Robert Bushnell, containing caricatures of more than 100 celebrities who once gallivanted at the club, including Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Fred Astaire, and local Palm Beach icon Lilly Pulitzer.
🌹 Sofia Reynal
Cover girl Sofia Reynal hails from Palm Beach. The Argentine American beauty plays polo and was discovered by fashion photographer Bruce Weber. She is close with her grandmother, Alex Hufty, whom she visits frequently despite a modeling career that often takes her overseas. While she currently resides in New York City, Sofia cherishes her Doberman Pinscher, Mila — the dog who stole her heart in Australia and whom she loves dearly.
🚘 A Day at The Royal
Our expert team — striking Sofia, talented photographer Nick Mele, hair and makeup expert Deborah Koepper, and jewelry aficionado Natalie Betteridge (of Greenleaf & Crosby and Jewels du Jour) — explored the ins and outs of The Royal, where we also took a spin in a 2025 Bentley Continental GTC provided by our friends at Braman Automotive. We stopped for a cappuccino at Sant Ambroeus and climbed the Royal’s historic Mysore Fig Tree before heading to the historic Palm Beach Playhouse, recently renamed Glazer Hall.
🌸 Palm Beach Perfection
It was an idyllic day at The Royal Poinciana Plaza, where there is always more to enjoy and explore.
