Was I was a child, I went with my family to the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. Our extended family, including Bubby and Grandpa, came too. I remember putting on fashion shows in the lobby with my big sister.
Much has changed.
The newly-renovated Fontainbleau is one of the hottest spots on Miami Beach. The gorgeous lobby harkens back to Miami Beach’s art deco past, while being open, contemporary and very, very hip.
Here are some of things you can do these days at the Fontainbleau.
You can lounge by one of the resort’s six pools, where big movie star glasses are a must and cocktails are always available.
You can walk along Miami Beach’s long, sandy beaches.
You can indulge at the 40,000 square-foot Lapis Spa and treat yourself to one of many different offerings such as the Tracie Martyn Resculpting Facial, known as the “red carpet facial” and favored by Hollywood’s elite. Or, you can be scrubbed, rubbed, soaked and massaged.
You can choose from one of 11 different dining choices including Gotham Steak, Scarpetta and the uber-hip Chinese outpost, Hakkasan.
You can hit LIV, one of Miami Beaches most celebrated nightclubs and a hang out for the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Diddy, the Kardashians, Rihanna, Beyonce and other A-listers.
You can hide in your room, with a view of the ocean with your own hi-def flat screen and iMac computer, should you feel the urge to email photos of yourself in those movie star glasses to the kids.
So, if your idea of a retreat is to reconnect with the super hip, fashionable you that may have gotten misplaced when your second (or third) child was born, dust off the stilettos and book a few days at the Fontainbleau. Right now, check out their Celebrate Spring Package, with discounted room rates, and a third night free.
