I stayed at a Florida Gilded Age hotel loved by the Vanderbilts, DuPonts, and Fords. It felt like traveling back in time.

The hotel was constructed as a way to attract visitors to the Tampa Bay area, where Plant had expanded a railroad system. Visitors to the hotel arrived directly by rail and could disembark the train and immediately check into the resort once nicknamed the "White Queen on the Gulf."
