Combining its original, Mediterranean-Revival design and architect Richard Meier’s minimalist addition, Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club is considered Miami’s best in class. Relax in the Spa’s hammam, wind down in the beautiful Champagne Bar, and dine at chef Thomas Keller’s onsite establishment. Lido Restaurant also launched the Percorso tasting menu.

Part of the Faena District, decade-old Faena Miami Beach transports guests into a fantastical vison from a host of creatives like hotelier Alan Faena and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. Experience its Argentine and Art Deco heritage through Los Fuegos By Francis Mallmann’s famous cuisine and Faena Theater, respectively. Tierra Santa Healing House spa is equally dramatic.
