Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club

By far Miami’s most storied residence, the Surf Club is where Elizabeth Taylor and friends would come to let their hair down. Today, the atmosphere remains as heady, with curved, cream arches, grand, palm-lined hallways and a restaurant that whisks you back to the glamour of the 1930s in time for lunch. It’s close to the iconic Bal Harbour mall on the quieter stretches of Surfside – so peaceful in fact, that Winston Churchill would come to paint in one of the poolside cabanas.
