For over 70 years, the Fontainebleau Miami Beach has been one of the most iconic hotels in America.Since opening in 1954, the sprawling oceanfront resort has hosted presidents, celebrities, and generations of Miami vacationers drawn to its glamorous reputation, distinctive curved architecture, and luxurious amenities.On a recent trip to Miami, I booked a one-night stay that cost nearly $900. Before getting there, I wondered whether the legendary hotel could live up to its reputation … and its hefty price tag.However, after checking into my room with sweeping ocean views, lounging by the resort's pools, and taking advantage of its prime beach access, I found that the Fontainebleau delivered the kind of classic Miami luxury that has kept it relevant for decades.Despite a busy conference that made the hotel more crowded than I expected and the high price of my room, I ultimately felt the retreat-like vibes made the experience worth it.Here's what it was like to stay at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
