Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club Review
The legendary Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is glamorous, classic, and so chic. Here are five things we loved the most:
The history is legendary. Originally opening on New Year’s Eve in 1930 by California tire tycoon Harvey Firestone, The Surf Club entertained countless celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elizabeth Taylor, and Winston Churchill. Vintage photos of grand themed galas and famous guests line the walls of Peacock Alley. The original club house holds true to its past through original exposed beams, grand archways, and original terra cotta tiles.
The dining is world-class. The star of The Surf Club is Michelin-starred Le Sirenuse Miami and Champagne Bar, located in the original Surf Club ballroom. The Mediterranean dishes and innovative cocktails capture the essence of the Amalfi Coast and sister restaurant in Positano. Recently opened is Thomas Keller’s The Surf Club Restaurant with classic cocktails, European-inspired menus, and live music. Winston’s on the Beach is the casual, outdoor dining option with a focus on regional ingredients and a location convenient to the pools and beach.
The rooms and suites are minimalist and fresh. Rising a dozen stories above the original club house, The Surf Club’s 77 stunning rooms and suites have dreamy modern interiors designed by Joseph Dirand. Five cabana studios with beachy vintage color palettes, terrazzo floors, and private outdoor decks offer a true sense of place and gorgeous oceanfront views.
The beach and pools have a resort feel. Quiet, private, and expansive with full service and beach toys & games for the kids, the narrow 900 ft stretch of beachfront is a unique oasis from the crowds and energy of South Beach. Bikes are complimentary with easy access to the riding path. The quiet adult pool and lively family pool are the perfect temperature and Rodrigo and his team are exceptional. “Cabana Row” lives on with 40 day-use poolside cabanas for guests.
It’s great for families. Kids For All Seasons (for kids ages 4-12) offers daily programming, is always complimentary, and staff have educational backgrounds. Kids will stay busy with lawn games like corn hole, giant Connect Four, Chippo, and Jenga. Pizza making in Le Sirenuse is a fun activity for all ages.
Good to know: Le Sirenuse and The Surf Club Restaurant can be hard to get into, even for guests staying at the hotel. Be sure to book reservations well in advance.
Perfect for: Couples, babymoons, multigenerational families
