A Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel

Overview

The spectacular Morris Lapidus-designed landmark hotel nods to the grandeur of a bygone era. The Forbes Travel Guide recommended hotel was built in 1954 and attracted Hollywood’s Rat Pack and other glamorous travelers. In 2008, the hotel underwent a $1 billion makeover which both restored and modernized the space — even the lobby’s bow-tie floors, designed by Lapidus, have been saved and spruced up. Guest rooms range from the modest (550 square feet) to the palatial ( the 4,300-square-foot suites). The oceanfront hotel is right on the beach, but sand-averse guests can pick from a free-form pool or a European-style one. The massive complex also houses a bi-level center of serenity, the Lapis Spa, and 12 fine-dining and casual restaurants.

Where is Fontainebleau Miami Beach located?

Fontainebleau Miami Beach is three miles from the center of bustling South Beach and just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled between miles of hotels on Collins Avenue, Fontainebleau is an oceanfront Miami Beach standout. The historic hotel was designed by Morris Lapidus in 1954 and made a splash with Rat Pack icons and international travelers when it debuted. And just because this 1,504-room hotel has a history, doesn’t mean it’s not modern — the Fountainebleau was extensively refurbished in 2008. If you’re flying into South Florida, getting to the hotel from the nearby Miami International Airport is a simple 12-mile drive. The Fort Lauderdale International Airport is a 28-mile trip.
