Recent additions at The Royal
Chloé’s Palm Beach opening comes amid other luxury retail activity in the area. Mira Mikati plans to open its first permanent standalone U.S. boutique at 340 Royal Poinciana Way; the opening date has not been announced, and the company is planning a celebration for November, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. Bottega Veneta also opened a boutique at 70 Royal Poinciana Way during the summer, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Chloé’s Palm Beach store
The 1,700-square-foot boutique brings together ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories and leather goods, including fall and resort pieces from creative director Chemena Kamali. WWD also reported that the store carries Chloé à la Plage, a collection with broderie anglaise, playful accessories and airy silhouettes, according to WWD.
WWD reported that natural materials, a muted palette, shell fixtures and custom details shape the interior. The publication said the design embodies Chloé’s values through a welcoming, warm environment.
The Royal’s history
The Royal Poinciana Plaza says it was built in the 1950s and is now a landmarked property, according to the plaza’s official website. The site does not specify why it was developed or describe its broader role in Palm Beach’s commercial history.
The plaza’s design and public life
Architect John Volk chose the Regency style because it suited the plaza’s open, modern plan, according to the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach. The foundation’s archival record says the plaza was designated a landmark in 2008; it identifies the design rationale but does not detail the criteria for that designation. Retail is one part of the plaza’s programming. Its 2026 Royal Riviera summer listing included Thursday live jazz at Sant Ambroeus and film screenings at Glazer Hall, according to The Royal Poinciana Plaza.
Chloé chief executive Laurent Malecaze told WWD the boutique is intended to deepen the house’s ties with the local community and present Kamali’s work. Samantha David, president of WS Development, which operates the plaza, welcomed the addition and said it suits Palm Beach and broadens the property’s retail mix, the publication reported.
