The Lowdown Venue Setting Fontainebleau Miami Beach is one of the most historically and architecturally significant hotels in the world. Designed by celebrated architect Morris Lapidus, the plush hotel first opened its doors in 1954. Among numerous works designed throughout the career of Lapidus, which include several retail stores, residential buildings and more than 15 hotels, Lapidus regarded Fontainebleau as the highlight of his career stating, “I don’t think I ever surpassed this creation.”
Situated on 20 oceanfront acres in the heart of Miami Beach, Fontainebleau is one of several examples of Miami Modern architecture in the region, famed for its curved angles and flamboyant design. Pronounced “fountain blue”, the hotel underwent a two-year $1 billion reinvention, reopening in 2008 to much fanfare, including the nationally televised Victoria Secret Fashion Show on CBS. In addition to developing a new contemporary identity for the hotel, designers strived to also retain many of the original design elements, including the “Staircase to Nowhere,” also known as the “floating staircase.”

Design: The most significant building of Morris Lapidus’ career, Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s emblematic curvilinear design came to define 1950s Miami Beach. The building’s modern façade created a jawdropping focal point along Collins Avenue. Inside, floating ceilings, crystal chandeliers and plentiful sweeping curves imparted an ultramodern atmosphere. “Before Lapidus, everything was boxy; his bends and zig-zags were revolutionary,” recalls a former employee. In fact, the resort’s design was so distinctive that, for decades, Fontainebleau didn’t even have a sign in the front. Although the resort was embraced by the traveling public, who appreciated not only its striking exterior but also the more practical aspects of its design (it’s curving walls, for example, caught the ocean breeze in an era before air conditioning), critics were outraged, calling it garish and flamboyant. The New York Times went so far as to call Lapidus’ work “inspired super schlock.” Today, however, Fontainebleau Miami Beach has become an enduring architectural landmark and Lapidus is widely regarded as a visionary. His work was showcased in “Promises of Paradise: Staging Mid-Century Miami”; at the Bass Museum and a line of home accessories designed by Lapidus has been launched. Books published by the once-critical American Institute of Architects now embrace his works. Standout Venue Features: From executive board meetings to large conventions, Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s combined 107,000 square feet of meeting and event space is ideal for any type of group gathering.
