Cartier opens new boutique in Palm Beach

Cartier has opened a permanent boutique in Palm Beach within the Royal Poinciana. 

Located at 70 Royal Poinciana Plaza, the boutique is designed to reflect the brand’s heritage while incorporating Palm Beach’s coastal identity, with an emphasis on architectural preservation and local history. It houses Cartier’s full range of jewelry, fine jewelry, watches, leather goods, fragrance and accessories.

Notably, the boutique occupies part of the former Royal Poinciana Playhouse, originally opened in 1958 and designed by architect John Volk in the Regency Revival style. The store retains the Playhouse façade, including statues depicting the four seasons, preserved under the guidance of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. As a nod to the legacy of the building, interior details feature elements of Regency architecture such as wrought iron accents, stucco façades, classical friezes and arched windows.

Cartier’s interior design also draws on Palm Beach’s natural environment, with 17-foot ceilings, and hand-painted golden wall gradients accented by custom reliefs inspired by native foliage. Wooden flooring references the area’s seafaring heritage, and Murano glass sconces shaped like shells and palm leaves highlight the region’s coastal character and echo themes found in Cartier’s collections.

Cartier has maintained a presence in Palm Beach for over 100 years, having first opened a seasonal boutique in the Beaux Arts Building in 1924.
