The hype
Impeccable service and stunning design, but the price tag makes you weep.
Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club
$1,000-4,500+ / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want the glamour of 1930s Miami with the silence of a library and the service of a royal court.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Historic 'Peacock Alley' where Winston Churchill and Frank Sinatra once walked
- Thomas Keller's Michelin-starred restaurant is literally downstairs
- Richard Meier's glass towers make every room feel like a floating cloud
Stutt samantekt: It’s ruinously expensive, but for once, the 'old money' aesthetic actually feels authentic rather than staged.
Farið yfir af @mllejolain: I was blown away by the quiet elegance here. My residential suite felt like a private home with full Four Seasons service. Sipping a custom cocktail by the pool while soaking in that historic Surf Club glamour was the highlight of my trip.

“I would appreciate a high-floor Oceanfront room, ideally away from the elevators. If an Ocean Bungalow is available for an upgrade, we would love to experience the historic cabana feel.”

Ask the concierge about the 'house car'—it's often free for drops within a few miles (like Bal Harbour Shops).

The 'Picnic' service on the beach is a hidden menu item; ask the pool attendants to set it up.

Walk north on the beach path for 10 minutes to reach the quieter, residential stretch of Surfside beach.
