Waldorf Towers South Beach

Stroll along the balmy, sun-soaked Ocean Drive and you’ll soon see the cool, creamsicle-like facade peeking out behind the palm trees. Architect Albert Anis knew exactly what he was doing when he devised this 43-room Art Deco masterpiece in 1937, writing the script for the city’s skyline. And, of course, we knew better than to try to change the vibe—even the signature rooftop lighthouse is still proudly perched above the northeast corner. This is Miami Beach as it should be. A symbol of style. An enclave of intimate relaxation. It’s everything you need. And nothing you don’t.
