The Mar-a-Lago Club is Trump's Florida resort and home base outside of Manhattan.

The former home to the heiress of Post Cereal, Marjorie Merriweather Post, Trump turned it into a luxury resort in the '80s.

Trump frequently visits the compound, and will continue to do so throughout his presidency. White House press secretary Sean Spicer called it the "winter White House" when he informed reporters that the president would be visiting over the weekend of February 3.

Here's what it's really like to stay at the president's favorite retreat, where the initiation fee for membership was just doubled to $200,000.
