A fixture on oceanfront Collins Avenue for more than six decades, this South Florida landmark oozes over-the-top glamour reminiscent of the area’s Rat Pack heyday. When it opened in 1954, the hotel’s curving, avant-garde design drew plenty of detractors – a destination for Hollywood A-listers from Elvis Presley to Lucille Ball. A $1 billion renovation and expansion completed in 2008 restored the historic hotel to its original opulence, The 1.504 rooms now feature sleek decor in soothing neutrals and ocean tones, while on-property attractions include the sprawling Lapis spa, twelve restaurants and lounges including chef-driven hotspots like seasonal Italian Scarpetta, Hakkasan and StripSteak, and LIV nightclub, where a new generation of young celebs mingle with the city’s social elite.
