to duplicate elsewhere in the world. Experience The Rich Life
Here are 10 ways to live it up in Southeast Florida.

You don’t have to be a Rockefeller or Trump to explore the public areas of the palatial The Breakers, one of the nation’s top hotels. Start
by strolling the award-winning 57- hectare landscaped grounds before entering the lavish Italian Renaissance style behemoth inspired by the Villa Medici in Florence, Italy. The inside is equally impressive, with a 60m-long main lobby canopied by a high-arched painted ceiling and the huge Florentine Dining Room fashioned after Palazzo Davanzati in Florence. Window shop the hotel’s exclusive boutique galleries or play a round of golf on Florida’s oldest 18-hole course, space permitting. www.thebreakers.com
