VENUE The ShowBoats Design Awards will be held at the legendary Mar-a-Lago Club, Donald Trump’s exclusive 20 acre estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Mar-a-Lago Club sits royally amid 20 valuable acres of manicured lawns, vibrant gardens and sweeping sea-to-lake vistas. A National Historic Landmark, the former Marjorie Merriweather Post estate maintains its position as a charter member on the VIP list of places and people that established Palm Beach as a winter haven for the elite many decades ago. The main house is an adaptation of the Hispano-Moresque style, long popular among the villas of the Mediterranean. It is crescent-shaped with an upper and lower cloister along the concave side of the building that faces Lake Worth. A 75-foot tower tops the structure, affording a magnificent view in all directions. The architecture, sculpture, planning and craftsmanship that went into this magnificent estate could not be duplicated today.

In January 1969, The Department of the Interior designated the estate as “The Mar-a-Lago National Historic Site”. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 by an Act of Congress.

Donald J. Trump purchased the property in 1985 and used the estate as a private residence until 1995. In April of 1995, Mar-a-Lago became established as The Mar-a-Lago Club. It is the last remaining Palm Beach estate still containing its buildings and land in almost identical form as its original conception. With the creative genius of Donald J. Trump and a lot of tender, loving care the 126 rooms have been fully renovated and restored to their original splendour.

The Mar-a-Lago Club has a special quality of timelessness that transcends the transition into the new millennium. The splendour, style and elegance of what may be the world’s most beautiful and exclusive private club is truly ageless. Donald J. Trump has invested millions of dollars in restoring and upgrading this “Jewel of Palm Beach,” creating the finest experience anywhere in luxury, relaxation, dining, entertainment and recreation – all in an unparalleled setting.
