点评:Highly recommend this tour... it’s another powerful reminder of the extraordinary legacy of Henry Flagler, one of the nation’s great early industrialists. Opened in 1888 as the opulent Hotel Ponce de Leon, it was the crown jewel of Florida’s Gilded Age.
The tour is led by one of the college’s students, which makes it even more engaging. Everything is impressive, but highlights for me were the stunning Tiffany chandeliers, the clock made by Thomas Edison, and the grand dining hall still used by students today.
Tips: When in the Palm Beach area visit the incredible Flagler Museum in Palm Beach... fantastic. And when in Tampa, visit Flagler's buddy's Tampa Bay Hotel (built in 1891) also turned into a college... at the Henry B. Plant Museum.
翻译:强烈推荐这次参观……它再次有力地展现了亨利·弗拉格勒(Henry Flagler)的非凡成就,他是美国早期伟大的实业家之一。酒店于1888年开业,当时名为庞塞·德·莱昂酒店(Hotel Ponce de Leon),是佛罗里达州镀金时代的璀璨明珠。
这次参观由学院的一名学生带领,因此更具吸引力。一切都令人印象深刻,但我印象最深刻的是精美的蒂芙尼水晶吊灯、托马斯·爱迪生制造的钟表,以及至今仍在使用的宏伟餐厅。
小贴士:如果您在棕榈滩地区,一定要去参观棕榈滩令人惊叹的弗拉格勒博物馆……非常棒。如果您在坦帕,可以去参观弗拉格勒好友亨利·B·普兰特(Henry B. Plant)的坦帕湾酒店(建于1891年),该酒店后来也成为了一所大学……现在这里是亨利·B·普兰特博物馆。
