Ravenala madagascariensis
Traveller's Palm
Not really a palm, but it certainly has a tropical look, with its huge banana-like leaves arranged in a fan pattern. Far too big and invasive for modern suburban gardens. If you can get hold of a plant, you might like to keep it in a pot for fast tropical effects. Strelitzia nicolai is quite similar in appearance and easier to obtain in garden centres. In both cases, clean off dead leaves and flowers regularly to keep it looking tidy.
