The successor to the now-classic TV series ''The Golden Girls'', sans [[Bea Arthur]] as Dorothy Zbornak. The Golden Palace saw Rose Nylund, Blanche Devareaux, and Sophia Petrillo sell their Miami home and move to South Beach to become the owners of an upscale hotel. What they didn't know is that the hotel was in dire straits financially and only two employees were kept on by the previous owners to run the entire hotel: the jack-of-all-trades manager Rowland (played by a then-unknown Don Cheadle), and a wisecracking Mexican cook named Chuy (played by Cheech Marin). Adding to the chaos is Oliver, a pre-teen boy who lives at the hotel and is fostered by Rowland. Everybody is at odds with each other at first, but they all find a way to work things out as the series progresses and eventually become one big, happy family...for the most part.
The series is often forgotten or even unknown except to die-hard ''Golden Girls'' enthusiasts, and never quite lived up to the standards set by its predecessor. There were several things working against it: the show aired on [[CBS]] during its one-season run, rather than the original show's home of [[NBC]], and was placed in what was known at the time as the "death slot" on Friday nights against ''[[
In recent years the show has been aired on Lifetime, but only in limited runs (usually as a virtual "eighth season" before the episodes rolled back to Season 1); it was generally excluded from the main ''Golden Girls'' lineup. It has yet to see a DVD release but many fans are still holding out hope.
