Quick - something help me find a word...

[Writer]

I need a term that conveys a place of great wealth or lavish lifestyle. Would "Tara" be one? Does anyone have a good word (preferably one)?

Thanks!

As in the palace of the Sun King

My sister peed there once.

3. You mean an actual place?

All I can think of are two word places: Waldorf Astoria, Biltmore Estate, Palm Beach...

4. ah how about the Ritz! n/t

[cwydro]

5. Ah yes!

I'm still stuck on two words: Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace...

7. The Waldorf-Astoria...

8. opulence of the Paris opera house

9. the Gilded Age

the Gilded Lily

I don't think "Tara" does it. Tara is the home of Irish kings and, IMHO, conjures up images of magic, strength, mist, legends.

I know it's also the home of Scarlett O'Hara but that's not my first image. Also, that Tara was burned.

12. Pemberley.

Positive connotations there, for me.
