The Place to be receives Wine Enthusiast Magazine Award of Distinction, 2007

2008-01-14 14:27:49

If Palm Beach is Jazz Age razzmatazz coupled with Emily Post breeding and good manners, the LEOPARD ROOM at the Chesterfield Hotel encapsulates the best of both worlds. Now this restaurant of long-standing, very much a Palm Beach institution, has been honored to receive Wine Enthusiast Magazine's Award of Distinction for 2007.

What does this mean? It means the LEOPARD ROOM's tradition of excellence, the highest quality food complemented by a world class wine list, has been recognised by one of North America's most prestigious specialist wine magazines.

The wine list at the LEOPARD ROOM is as eclectic as it is comprehensive. Fabulous Cabs, magnificent Merlots, spicy Shirazes and zingy Zins vie for attention with the very best South African sauvignons and classic Bordeaux and Burgundies. The list is as long as it is relevant, capturing the zeitgeist of what is happening in the world of wine. It's considered and contemporary and it's what discerning wine lovers want to drink right now.

In the LEOPARD ROOM, wines are stored at optimum temperature and served with the respect they demand. Old stock is turned over and replaced in an intelligent list, which continues to expand, imaginatively and intelligently as well as exponentially.

Out of thousands of applicants, The LEOPARD ROOM is one of only a handful of restaurants in North America to be honored with this level of recognition. It represents dedication in delivering the most wine-friendly experience to patrons, wine served with know-how and expertise, with verve and enthusiasm but never pretension. Now who wouldn't drink to that!

THE LEOPARD ROOM is open for lunch and dinner daily.

The Chesterfield Hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and boasts 52 uniquely themed and decorated guest rooms and suites that feature rich décor and lavish amenities. Complimentary valet service awaits you. A member of Red Carnation Hotels, the Chesterfield Hotel is located at 363 Cocoanut Row.

Chesterfield Hotel: English Countryside Meets Florida Sunshine

Worth Avenue represents the essence of Palm Beach
There is no place like Florida's Palm Beach, a city with an abnormally high number of eccentric people, with eccentric defined as a bit crazy and very, very rich. Everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime

Gold Coasting

2008-09-04 11:22:37

Never was a street so aptly named as WORTH Avenue, a tradition in shopping since the colorful inception of Palm Beach. This mecca for seekers of luxury goods spans less than a mile from ocean to Intracoastal (look for the idling Bentleys and Rolls-Royces), but pound for pound, it packs an incredibly elegant punch. The two hundred boutiques lining the avenue and side streets are a parade of sophisticated names, from Dior to Chanel and Armani. Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, the grandes dames of the street, anchor her east end while discreetly providing a buffer from blowing beach sand. True, Saks and Neiman have stores nationwide, but here they are uniquely Palm Beach. Saks (172 Worth Ave., 561-833-2551; saksfifthavenue.com) will open on Sundays or after hours by appointment for special customers. At Neiman (151 Worth Ave., 561-805-6150, neimanmarcus.com), an escalator ride is an ethereal two-story descent through dangling strings of white feather butterflies and mirrors.

Via Mizner is just one of a dozen courtyards tucked in behind bougainvillea-covered arches along the avenue. In Via Parigi find Stubbs & Wootton (4 Via Parigi, 561-655-6857 or 877-4-STUBBS), purveyor of exclusive velvet embroidered slippers (slippers, $225; slides, $450). The truly well-heeled request these Palm Beach must-haves with hand-stitched initials.

Palm Beach is balmy year-round, but shoppers prepare for cool evening breezes and blasts of air-conditioning at Au Cashmere (323 Worth Ave., 561-655-0203) in the Via De Mario Courtyard. The sublimely soft pieces are mostly Italian and Scottish even though the chic, friendly owner, Genevieve Poitout, hails from France. To find something French, check out the swimwear for men, direct from St. Tropez, at Vilebrequin (150 Worth Ave., 561-659-6569). The hot styles and quick-drying fabrics are a hit with Prince William, Pierce Brosnan, and George Clooney. Mister (313½ Worth Ave., 561-835-0777) is another must-stop shop for guys with an eye for style. The store’s ever-changing collection includes La Martina polo shirts ($100-$2,000) from actual English, Brazilian, Argentine, and American teams. Also very cool are Laguiole pocket knives in Day-Glo colors. Speaking of knives, Grande Armée Military Antiques (256 Worth Ave., 561-835-1958 or 800-278-8212, grandarmee.com) offers antique weaponry to die for — everything from hand-painted toy soldiers to armor from Austrian Dragoon Guards (circa 1890).

If diamond baguettes are more your bag, boutiques such as Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and Tiffany are a bastion of bling — with premium prices. For a less costly but highly appealing alternative, try the costume jewelry at Mariko (329 Worth Ave., 561-655-5770). Although the boutique offers many pieces of real jewelry, such as the ivory, Lucite, and silver ethnic baubles from New York sculptor Patricia Von Musulin (black wood bracelet with inlaid onyx, $3,600), its specialty is “travel” jewelry — replicas of fine jewels or very sparkly alternatives. The imposters don’t come cheap, though (Fantasia three-strand cubic zirconium necklace: $6,000). Non-wearable art also abounds on the avenue. Find Tiffany glass and delicate art deco pieces at Spencer Antiques Gallery (240 Worth Ave., 561-833-9893) or stake your claim on modern masters from Magritte to Matisse at Gallery Biba (224A Worth Ave., 561-651-1371).

Off Worth
There's more to this seaside sanctuary than one super-posh street. Need somewhere to wear that barely there dress from Michael Kors' Palm Beach collection? Try the Leopard Lounge in the Chesterfield Hotel, a retro restaurant/nightspot featuring animal print decor and late-night happy hours.
