Four Seasons Hotel

Staying here combines oceanfront elegance with an iconic social club setting. From the moment it first opened its doors on New Year's Eve in 1930 as a members-only club, The Surf Club has hosted history while blending old charm with modern structures. Elizabeth Taylor, Dean Martin, and Winston Churchill were once guests at the club, and Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner honeymooned here. The rooms are minimalist and calm, designed to make you feel like you're in a beachside bungalow, with textured panelled walls, ceilings, and touches of rattan. Opt for an oceanfront room for the best views, or enjoy the city-view category, which offers stunning vistas across Biscayne Bay to mainland Miami and striking sunsets. For a unique experience, choose one of the five overnight cabanas by the beach. The resort features three pools: one for families, another for adults only, and one exclusive to cabana guests. There's also a spa, fitness and wellness center, three restaurants, two bars, and on-property experiences like beach picnics.
