BeachLuxuryMovie

This 1954 marvel by architect Morris Lapidus, renowned for his flamboyant "neo-baroque" style, is an icon of luxury and cinematic history. Known as the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, it has played host to some of the most famous film scenes, including Gert Fröbe’s portrayal of the supervillain Goldfinger in the 1964 James Bond classic and Whitney Houston’s superstar role in The Bodyguard (1992). Always symbolizing the epitome of luxury, its most unforgettable moment might just be in Brian De Palma’s Scarface (1983), where Tony Montana (Al Pacino) declares, “This is paradise, I tell you,” over poolside Piña Coladas before engaging with female guests. The hotel's image as a playground for the rich and famous has made it a frequent film and pop culture backdrop.

The Fontainebleau's history is as lavish as its design. Opening in the 1950s, it quickly became a hotspot for celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Its stunning architecture features sweeping curves, chandeliers, and grand staircases that blend seamlessly with Miami's ocean views. A 2008 renovation, costing over $1 billion, refreshed the hotel while preserving Lapidus' signature details like the famed "staircase to nowhere" and the stunning oceanfront pools, ensuring that its legacy remained intact.

In terms of facilities, the Fontainebleau offers over 1,500 guest rooms, an expansive pool area, a luxurious spa, and several fine-dining options, including Michelin-starred restaurants. The hotel also features a high-end nightclub, LIV, attracting celebrities and elite visitors. Its 20 acres of oceanfront property make it a prime destination for those seeking relaxation and entertainment in equal measure.
