Fontainebleau Miami Beach ($359 per night)
Located in the heart of Miami Beach, Fontainebleau is a landmark "Miami Modern" (MiMo) style hotel that opened in 1954 and was one of the first glamorous beachfront resorts on the scene. The nightclub is nestled near the entryway and has hosted performances by legends like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley in the '50s and '60s, adding to its pop culture relevance.
After a $1 billion renovation in 2008, the hotel now features four different towers, the Lapis Spa, and nine different restaurants (think: Michelin star-rated Hakkasan and Italian eatery Scarpetta by Scott Conant). The fitness offerings are also attractive to anyone who likes to work out on vacation, with a fully-stacked gym, yoga classes, a run club, and 11 distinctive pool experiences, from luxurious hot tubs to the adults-only Arkadia Day Club.
Editor Quote: "As soon as you walk into the Fontainebleau, you get a sense of the rich history from the lobby alone, which is piped with a delicious scent and features giant crystal chandeliers, marble columns, and an ornate, gilded bar that speaks to the party atmosphere. I highly recommend indulging in the Lapis Spa's signature Revitalizing Swedish Massage and hydrotherapy circuits to say you got the most of your stay." — Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, Shopping
