In the late 19th century, New York City and Newport exemplified wealth and luxury, attracting affluent individuals eager to showcase their prosperity. Hotels like The Lotte New York Palace represent this grandeur with rich histories, as they catered to the elite. Social dynamics included challenges for women, particularly divorcees like Aurora Fane, who faced social ostracism. Despite these complexities, many modern luxury hotels offer a glimpse back into this opulent past, allowing guests to experience the exquisite lifestyle of the Gilded Age.
The Lotte New York Palace has a rich history serving New York's elite since 1882, featuring luxury rooms and stunning views of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Aurora Fane represents socially destitute women of the Gilded Age who faced exclusion despite no fault of their own, illustrating societal double standards.
