Abstract:: Royal Palm Hotel was built by Henry Flagler and opened in 1897. Painted yellow with green rim, it had 350 rooms and 200 baths, a grand ballroom, and a dining room for over 500 people, a veranda overlooking the bay, and a swimming pool. The hotel was declared a fire hazard and torn down in June 1930. This is an aerial view of Royal Palm Hotel. The building itself and the red-colored roof contrasting against green palm trees looked impressively beautiful.
