South Beach Miami

The Cardozo

This is another Art Deco attraction in South Beach Miami, but it stands out from the rest, which is to say it's truly spectacular. It's a 1939 Hohauser design, an immaculately restored hotel owned by Gloria Estefan. It was one of the first of the old Art Deco beauties to be renovated, and Ms. Estefan should be proud. She spared no expense nor overlooked any detail with this project, because it's museum-quality both inside and out. This explains why it's one of the most-photograhed hotel on the beach these days. Who can resist a picture, with the eyebrows over the windows, the wrought-iron furniture and hardwood floors? The good news is that it's a hotel, and you can stay here. It's located at 1300 Ocean Drive, which is at 13th Street, on the ocean.
