Hutton.  The mansion, an 18-acre, 118 room, ocean-to-lake villa is owned by Donald Trump and was the site of his recent marriage.  It was also a private residence, which has now been converted into a private world-renowned club.  The Mar-a-Lago Club features an outstanding private two-acre beach, world class spa and numerous recreational facilities and events.  Ornately carved and hand painted Moorish ceiling, spectacular ocean views from balconies and verandas, and antique Spanish-tiled mosaics lend historical beauty to each and every room.  These are among the greatest views to be found anywhere in the world.  Your guests will enjoy the afternoon with a high tea at Mar-a-Lago.
