Founded by the tyre tycoon Harvey Firestone, The Surf Club opened at the northern end of Miami Beach on New Year’s Eve 1930 and people fell in love with it instantly. In March this year, that excitement returned when The Surf Club reopened after a five-year redevelopment as Four Seasons Surfside, a hotel, condominiums and private club.
A central 12-storey tower rises out of what was the club’s courtyard and is cantilevered out over its tiled roofs so that it appears to float above them. This is where you’ll find the hotel’s 77 rooms (Four Seasons operates a further 28 residences in the adjacent blocks), each created using pale neutrals and greens by the French master of modern minimalism Joseph Dirand.
Custom furnishings accommodate leisure in luxury with subtle, sophisticated colors and rich interplays of textures. A full wall of windows floods each room with Florida’s gorgeous sunshine. Big balconies have frameless glass railings for unobstructed views. Five Cabana Studios on the Four Seasons Hotel at Surf Club’s famed Cabana Row have been fully recreated for today’s guest.
Guests can also enjoy at the hotel’s bar and restaurant – overlooking the ocean in The Surf Club’s original ballroom, clink glasses while raising a toast in the suavely elegant Champagne Bar & Lounge, or embark on a Mediterranean flavor odyssey in the restaurant, located in the Club’s restored Peacock Alley.
