Hotel concierges get tour of best of Lake Worth, Lantana
by Willie Howard

Concierges from hotels and vacation-planning firms toured bed and breakfasts, restaurants, bars, bakeries and art galleries Monday to get a better understanding of what Lake Worth and Lantana have to offer.

The 21 hospitality professionals, representing hotels such as The Breakers, the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach and Marriott hotels in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, came by bus on one of the Taste of History Culinary Tours led by Lori Durante, executive director of the Museum of Lifestyle and Fashion History in Delray Beach.

1936 Sabal House Bed & Breakfast in Lake Worth, Florida toured by hotel concierges for the Taste History Culinary Tour
At the Sabal Palm House Bed and Breakfast on Golfview Road, the concierges sampled scones and tea in the courtyard on a cool, breezy morning. The bed and breakfast, operated by John and Colleen Rinaldi, is based in a 1936 house built of cypress that overlooks the city golf course and the Snook Islands Natural Area.

Colleen Rinaldi said Durante’s Taste of History tours, which have included Lake Worth since April, are showing what the city has to offer to a new audience.

“People are finding out about our downtown,” she said. “It sells the city.”
