Mar-a-Lago (/ˌmɑːrəˈlɑːɡoʊ/; Spanish for 'Sea-to-Lake') is a resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida. Since 1985, it has been owned by former U.S. president Donald Trump, who resides on the premises.
Mar-a-Lago was built for the businesswoman and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post between 1924 and 1927, during the 1920s Florida land boom. At the time of her death in 1973, Post bequeathed the property to the National Park Service,[5] hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House, but because the costs of maintaining the property exceeded the funds provided by Post, and because it was difficult to secure the facility,[a] the property was returned to the Post Foundation by an act of Congress in 1981.[6]
In 1985, Donald J. Trump (primarily a businessman and real estate investor at the time) acquired Mar-a-Lago and used the 126-room, 62,500 sq ft (5,810 m2)[1] mansion (on 17 acres of land[2]) as a residence before 1994, when he converted it into the Mar-a-Lago Club, a members-only club with guest rooms, a spa and other hotel-style amenities. The Trump family maintains private quarters in a separate, closed-off area of the house and grounds, marked by decorative dolphins.[7] During his tenure as President of the United States, President Trump frequently visited Mar-a-Lago[8] and hosted meetings with international leaders there, including Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese president Xi Jinping. Since 2019, Trump has designated the estate as his primary residence.
