The timeless Fontainebleau has emerged from the original vision of legendary

architect Morris Lapidus, whose daring designs epitomized a concept of life

“more unusual, more interesting, more warm.” Today, Fontainebleau Miami Beach

weaves its attributes—striking design, headlining music, contemporary art,

fashion and technology—into a vibrant new kind of immersive guest experience.

Situated on an oceanfront stretch of the Atlantic, the architectural wonder

sprawls across more than 20 acres.

FONTAINEBLEAU POOLSCAPE AND CHATEAU TOWER

When architect Morris Lapidus unveiled his plans nearly 60 years ago, he explained:

“Fontainebleau is designed to convey a feeling of delight, to provide a setting,

away from home, away from daily cares, just for the pleasure of a great experience.”

To provide this experience, Lapidus broke away from convention to create what

he called “an architecture of joy.” He chose passion over formality, curves over

straight edges, and hot colors over the traditional vanilla palette. Irony, surprise,

wit, serendipity, coincidence, and whimsical extravagance were his tools. Critics and

academic killjoys were outraged. The public couldn’t get enough of it. Eventually,

the original Fontainebleau came to be recognized as a masterpiece of Modernist

architecture, but it was always Modernism with an edge, with plenty of humor

and abundance of art. Everything Lapidus designed or placed in Fontainebleau was

meant to delight and surprise.

FONTAINEBLEAU CHATEAU LOBBY, 1954

Since its grand opening in 1954, Fontainebleau has

been the place to see and be seen. Morris Lapidus’

bold creative thinking has served as a blueprint

for our reinvention of Fontainebleau today. After

a billion dollar transformation in 2008, Fontainebleau

opened to fanfare in celebration of the resort’s

glamorous legacy, featuring the Victoria’s Secret

Fashion Show and performances by Usher, Mariah

Carey and Robin Thicke.

FONTAINEBLEAU CHATEAU LOBBY

When Fontainebleau opened in 1954, guests

descended the Staircase to Nowhere, dressed in

their finest evening attire, for the sheer pleasure

of making a grand entrance.

The internationally renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei created three brilliant

chandeliers for the Chateau Lobby in Fontainebleau in 2008. The permanent

installation “Miami Chandeliers” embraces the historic past of Fontainebleau

while simultaneously looking toward the future.

Bond and Goldfinger sat by the water’s edge for

a heated game of gin rummy.
