The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club stands out as one of Miami’s most glamorous and historic resorts.
For the second year in a row, a luxury hotel in Surfside was named one of the best hotels in the world. In its 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards, Condé Nast Traveler voters chose the Four Seasons at The Surf Club as one of the top 100 hotels in the world. The glamorous hotel, which was ranked no. 28, was also chosen as the best hotel in Florida not including Miami (Miami being Miami, it has its own category). The Four Seasons, which opened in 1959, was known for its famous guests. “Over the years, guests here have included Elizabeth Taylor, Wallis Simpson, and the Shah of Iran. Winston Churchill used to rent two cabanas, one to paint in and one ‘for naps’ (and drinks, as during Prohibition spirits were served illegally here),” the magazine reports, going on to praise the Mediterranean-style roof, cabanas, the spa and the restaurants on The Surf Club property, including Thomas Keller’s Michelin-starred The Surf Club.
The hotel also earned a Forbes Five-Star Award in 2023 and was named best resort in the Greater Miami Beach area in Travel + Leisure’s World Best Awards for 2023. Only one other Florida hotel made the list: The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The best hotel in the world, according to voters, is the Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs, California.
