Drawn by its natural beauty, Henry Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, established Palm Beach more than 100 years ago as a unique resort spot. Palm Beach was a raving success, as people flocked from all over the country to enjoy its exquisite views and opulence. Today, just minutes from the Palm Beach airport, The Ritz-Carlton offers guests a picturesque playground where sun-seekers, polo fans, watersport enthusiasts, shoppers and those just wanting to relax, can gather to indulge in the beauty of Palm Beach and Delray Beach, FL.
