"Since emerging from a three-year, $1 billion (yes, billion) makeover in late 2008, Fontainebleau remains an It spot in a town that absolutely loves to be looked at."

Be sure to stay on the ocean side of the resort, where you'll feel as if you're at sea on a yacht, thanks to sweeping Atlantic views from your curved balcony.
"There's so much going on in and around the hotel that you can easily forget about the downy sands directly behind the property." Full review

"After its $1 billion facelift in 2008, the Fontainebleau's 1,504 new rooms, nine pools, phenomenal spa and gorgeous design are hard to top." Full review
"Fabulously retro, the Fontainebleu a flamboyant Las Vegas-style with Art Deco grandeur. Rooms have been renovated and the hotel is expanding into a condo-hotel."
"Once the last word in glamour, this Miami icon reopened in 2008 after a lavish renovation which saw the addition of two new, luxury all-suite towers."
"A three-year renovation has put the 1,504-room beachside behemoth back on the map, with an over-the-top atmosphere and adjacent towers housing rooms, 11 restaurants, and a $50 million spa." Full review
"The most famous hotel in Miami Beach has had a billion-dollar facelift." Full review
"This Miami Beach icon sits at the top of the heap for well-heeled, demanding business and leisure travelers in search of a flamboyant full-service hotel." Full review
"This 37-story all-suites property, adjacent to the original historic Fontainebleau hotel, overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and downtown Miami."
"Much of the old design was recreated/restored: the black and white bow-tie floors and grand columns in the lobby, gradiose chandeliers, famous "staircase to nowhere"."

"New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review
"The 67 minimalist rooms may be small, but they've been impeccably designed by India Mahdavi with comfy white beds and chocolate-colored sofas."
"You’d think the Townhouse was designed by the guy who styled the iPod." Full review
Mid-Range
"Located right on the beach, the Townhouse offers bright, stylish rooms, but little else." Full review
"A shabby chic hotel that is more chic than shabby, the Townhouse is quirky with exercise equipment in the hallways, free L-shaped couches for guests, and clean, simple decor."
Star
"From the small but beautifully designed white rooms to the chatty, cheerful staff and the relaxing roof deck filled with cushy chaise loungers, this boutique hotel aims to please."
"This small boutique hotel is a first-rate knock-off. It was opened in 2000 by Jonathan Morr, and the Starck-Schrager influence is obvious." Full review
"The upscale beach house decor by New York interior designer India Mahdavi emphasizes modern white furnishings accented by striking red decor... and signature curvy couches."
"In the boutique division of hotels, handy to the lavish Shore Club, is the very modern and very red-and-white Townhouse."
7.0
"A laid-back retreat outfitted in stark white with pops of red." Full review
