From Park Lane to Palm Beach: London club owner eyes Florida rival to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

AI Summary

long article 4 min

London club owner Robin Birley, backed by the Reuben brothers, is planning to open a private club in Palm Beach, Florida, aiming to rival Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago. Birley, known for his exclusive London clubs like Oswald's and 5 Hertford Street, which are frequented by British politicians and celebrities, intends to create a more discreet, opulent venue for wealthy individuals. The Palm Beach club will feature amenities like an outdoor pool and a flashy, American-style design. This expansion comes as Palm Beach has become a hub for right-wing figures, and Birley hopes to capitalize on the influx of wealthy British individuals and offer an alternative to Trump's club. Birley already opened a club in New York last year.
