at The Surf Club
Old-Hollywood glamour meets refined modernism. Hushed, calm, and deliberately low-key given its pedigree. The vibe skews toward well-traveled couples and families who want space, history, and serious dining — not nightlife proximity.
The Champagne Bar holds Miami's largest champagne selection — worth stopping in even if you're not a hotel guest
Why It Matters
Home to Thomas Keller's only Florida restaurant (one Michelin star), the hotel holds two Michelin Keys and a World's 50 Best Hotels distinction. The original 1930s Surf Club building — with its restored fireplaces, hand-painted murals, and wooden ceilings — sets this apart from every other luxury hotel on the Miami coastline.
The Surf Club opened its doors on New Year's Eve 1930, and the history here is real — Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill, and Elizabeth Taylor all passed through. Today the original Jazz Age clubhouse anchors a 9-acre oceanfront compound in Surfside, a quieter stretch of coast about 5 miles north of South Beach. The Four Seasons operates 77 rooms and suites designed by Parisian architect Joseph Dirand — think white marble, pale green and blue tones, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a calm that feels worlds away from the South Beach circus. With two Michelin Keys, a World's 50 Best Hotels ranking, and a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, this is one of the most decorated hotels in Florida.
