Hotel of South Beach, Miami

This beautifully restored hotel is another design by Lawrence Murray Dixon. The Hotel of South Beach was previously called The Tiffany, and it changed to its current name after fashion designer Todd Oldham bought the building in the late 1990s.

When the building was erected in 1939, neon light was still a novelty. The hotel's original, Tiffany, was spelled vertically in eye-catching neon on the building’s iconic aluminum spire. The use of neon and the spire’s rocket-like shape create a futuristic look influenced by the science fiction themes then pervasive in popular culture. Although the hotel has been renamed, the new owner elected to keep the Tiffany sign, and it is still in use to this day.

In 1997, the hotel was the site of one of the most memorable fashion shows in Miami's history, when legendary fashion designer Gianni Versace held his Spring/Summer 1998 fashion show on its rooftop.

Today, the Hotel of South Beach remains a popular destination for fashion shoots and events, and it continues to be a beloved landmark in Miami's vibrant cultural scene.
