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+/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want the glamour of 1930s Miami with the silence of a library and the service of a royal court.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- 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
Pikakatsaus: It’s ruinously expensive, but for once, the 'old money' aesthetic actually feels authentic rather than staged.
Arvioinut @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.
