Today the original club remains, augmented by modern structures containing residences and the Four Seasons Hotel — a typically luxe and uncommonly stylish luxury hotel.
“Ascend the coral stone steps and enter its palm-filled, beamed lobby, and it might still be 1931—except that the buzz from the bar…”
“Much of the original 1930 club has been restored by the Four Seasons, and a walk under the wooden beams and arched ceilings feels like a step back…”
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The hotel fronts the quiet sands of Surfside. Bal Harbour Shops sit minutes north, with South Beach a short drive away.
The rooms
Glass doors open onto balconies over the water, and bedrooms have fluted plaster walls and green Connemara marble.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three heated pools sit between palm lawns and 900 feet of Atlantic beachfront, surrounded by white loungers.
The spa
White louvered screens divide the ocean-view relaxation lounge, leading to a Turkish hammam and eucalyptus steam rooms.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining unfolds under vaulted timber ceilings in the restored ballroom and across an open-air oceanfront terrace.
The hotel’s 72 guest rooms, measuring 425 to 700 square feet, are done in a palette of ocean hues, sand tones and creamy bisques.
How it began
Tire tycoon Harvey Firestone planned the private club aboard his yacht Marybelle, opening its doors on New Year's Eve 1930.
“the light-flooded rooms and suites boast uninterrupted views of either the ocean, bay or city through their glass-edged balconies.”
