Want to live like a Rockefeller on your next vacation? Or want a voyeuristic
peek into the world of the rich and powerful? These iconic resorts across the
country — from a Gilded Age Palm Beach estate to a Newport mansion to a Long
Island Gold Coast castle — will make you feel like your blood runs blue.

The Breakers Palm Beach
The Breakers Palm Beach
There’s a reason The Breakers’ reputation precedes it. This 140-acre resort,
first built in 1896 (and reconstructed in 1926), resembles a Renaissance palace,
and it’s seen more than it’s fair share of American royalty over the years;
Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, and various Astors,
Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts have all walked the halls at this posh spot. No
other hotel in Palm Beach can come close to matching the luxury found at this
iconic property.The Plaza, New York City
The Plaza, New York City
This New York hotel is synonymous with luxury, and has carved out a prominent
place in 20th-century culture. Truman Capote threw his famous Black and White
Ball here; in North by Northwest, Cary Grant was captured by spies in
the hotel’s famous Oak Bar; and F. Scott Fitzgerald staged part of The Great
Gatsby here. When The Plaza first opened its residences, Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt were the first to sign up.Chatham Bars Inn, Cape Cod
Chatham Bars Inn, Cape Cod
The Cape has long been a cherished spot for the American rich to summer, and
the Chatham Bars Inn has been drawing America’s wealthy and powerful since it
opened in 1914: Past guests include Henry Ford, Henry Morganthau, and William
Rockefeller. The true Cape-Cod style architecture is complemented by lovely
interiors — upholstered wingback chairs, antique-style turned-leg furnishings,
and seafaring decor.Biltmore Coral Gables, Miami
Biltmore Coral Gables, Miami
Opened in 1926, the Biltmore is a timeless luxury hotel and a registered
historical landmark. Before the stock market crashed in 1929, guests included
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and several Vanderbilts. The 150-acre property
includes a 315-foot copy of the Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain, and the
largest swimming pool in the
continental United States.Oheka Castle
Oheka Castle, Long Island
The North Shore of Long Island was once home to the estates of many of
America’s aristocratic families — the Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Roosevelts, and
Morgans, among many more — earning it the nickname the “Gold Coast.” Oheka
Castle was the largest of these estates, and the second largest private
residence in the entire country. Financier Otto Hermann Kahn hosted numerous
parties at the estate during the 1920s (the Gatsby era) that were attended by
royals and Hollywood celebrities. Today, Oheka Castle is a hotel with 32 rooms,
and is used as an event space for high-profile weddings and galas.Vanderbilt Grace, Newport
Vanderbilt Grace, Rhode Island
Built in 1909 by Alfred Gwynee Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt Grace Hotel is an
original Newport mansion. Today, it’s an elegant luxury hotel that retains the
original architecture; the handsome brick building, the grand double staircase,
and details such as wainscotting and crown molding add to the historic
charm.The Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles
The Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles
Los Angeles may smack of celebrities and new money, but Old Hollywood — when
the likes of Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Ingrid Berman, and Marilyn Monroe graced
the silver screen — is another thing entirely. Dating back to 1912, the Beverly
Hills Hotel is one of the grand dames of Tinseltown; almost every iconic actor
of the Hollywood Golden Age passed through the “pink palace’s” hallowed halls.
Today, the dignified hotel still sees its fair share of VIPs.Fisher Island Hotel And Resort, Miami
Fisher Island Hotel and Resort, Miami
Originally built in 1925 by William Vanderbilt II as a winter estate, Fisher
Island is a private island, residential community with a 45-room hotel. Peacocks
freely roam the lush grounds, and the original Vanderbilt Mansion now houses two
of the island’s restaurants, where tuxedo-clad waiters see to guests’ every
wish.Vineyard Square Hotel and Suites, Martha’s Vineyard
Vineyard Square Hotel and Suites
A century ago, Thomas Henry Chirgwin built a luxury hotel and called it The
Colonial Inn. The inn had all the modern amenities guests at the time might have
wanted — such as electricity and indoor plumbing. Since its opening, the inn has
counted a number of celebrities among its guests, including Howard Hughes, John
F. Kennedy Jr., and Jacqueline Kennedy. Today, the inn is known as the Vineyard
Square Hotel and Suites, a modern luxury property on quaint Martha’s Vineyard,
which remains a popular summer playground for East Coast
notables.如果这些还不够方便,随时待命的“空军一号”可以将总统接走。据报道,1960年总统选举之后,即将离任的艾森豪威尔总统领着即将上任的肯尼迪参观白宫时,向他展示了一个按钮。只要一按这个按钮,直升机就可以在几秒钟之内飞到白宫的南草坪。这种快速反应的传统跟随每位总统,并且一任比一任快。
艾森豪威尔 戴维营
修建戴维营原本是用于在20世纪30年代末期收留无家可归的残废儿童,后成为联邦政府雇员家属暂住之地。如今,戴维营依旧保持着罗斯福总统1942年初次来访时的原貌,当年那些供联邦政府雇员家属暂住的房间虽小,但很别致。数十年来,从接待达官贵人到作为隐退度假之所,戴维营继续发挥着一个总统休养地的作用。
肯尼迪 肯尼迪庄园
肯尼迪庄园位于楠塔基特海岛码头地区,占地面积6英亩。1926年,肯尼迪总统的父亲租用了这栋位于马尔昌特大道的避暑别墅。几年后他出钱将这栋别墅买下,并进行了扩建,最终成为肯尼迪家族的避暑胜地。后来,他的两个儿子约翰和罗伯特又将周围几处房产买下,把它们连成一片,才有了今天这种规模。与此同时,这里也成了肯尼迪遇刺后各种流言蜚语的来源地。

华盛顿 芒特弗农庄园
这里是美国第一个总统休假地,也是美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿的故居。它距华盛顿和亚历山大仅数英里,这座18世纪的地产和公园,每年会向公众开放几天。华盛顿总统和夫人在这里生活了40年,其间将这个只有6个房间的庄园扩大至21个房间,占地面积也从2000英亩变为8000英亩。我们虽然不清楚华盛顿在这里种下了多少棵樱桃树,但我们的确知道这里从1860年至今,一直是个少有的公众可以拜访的总统休养地。
罗斯福 松树林庄园罗斯福的外号是“旷野骑士”,他和他的孩子们都喜欢古朴充满野外气息的建筑。近几年,松树林经过了多次重建,使游客可以轻而易举地就能来到这里。
