Here at Fontainebleau we are from our birth unique and original without compromise. When one thinks Miami one thinks Fontainebleau. We are a destination with character and personality and history and culture buried in the fantasy resort destination of Miami Beach Florida‌invented by an architect named Lapidus, who truly pioneered resort architecture as we know it today. We have infused Fontainebleau with the sexy, glamorous, ultramodern spirit of the original. A stage for fun and sun, fantasy and escape re-opened and renovated for a modern experience. The most extraordinary experiences lie at the intersection of your world and ours. The stage is set. Explore. Jeffrey Soffer Chairman & CEO

AN INTRODUCTION The timeless Fontainebleau has emerged from the original vision of legendary architect Morris Lapidus whose daring designs epitomized a concept of life “more unusual, more interesting, more warm.” Today, Fontainebleau Miami Beach weaves its attributes—striking design, headlining music, contemporary art, fashion, and technology— into a vibrant new kind of immersive guest experience. Situated on an oceanfront stretch of the Atlantic, the architectural wonder sprawls across more than 20 acres.

the LEGACY Since its grand opening in 1954, Fontainebleau has been the place to see and be seen. When Fontainebleau’s architect unveiled his plans nearly 60 years ago, he explained: “Fontainebleau is designed to convey a feeling of delight, to provide a setting, away from home, away from daily cares, just for the pleasure of a great experience.” To provide this experience, Lapidus broke away from conventions to create what he called “an architecture of joy.” He chose passion over formality, curves over straight edges and hot colors over the traditional vanilla palette. Irony, surprise, wit, serendipity, coincidence, and whimsical extravagance were his tools. Critics and academic killjoys were outraged. The public couldn’t get enough of it. Eventually, the original Fontainebleau came to be recognized as a masterpiece of Modernist architecture, but it was always Modernism with an edge, and with plenty of humor and an abundance of art. Everything Lapidus designed or placed in Fontainebleau was meant to delight and surprise.

the art of fontainebleau The new 21st century Fontainebleau follows Lapidus’ precedent by incorporating “cool and hot” examples of contemporary art as a part of its radical departure from the ordinary. The mission of Fontainebleau’s art program is to entertain and educate. It is defined by a select number of world-class visual artists and thinkers. Each of them has a significant impact on the look and feel of Fontainebleau. In addition to Turrell’s light installations, major works include the chandeliers by Ai Weiwei, works by Rosalyn Drexler, John Baldessari and Tracey Emin, and photography by Thomas Ruff and Liza Ryan. Each work of art you see in Fontainebleau today is unique, original and site-specific. All the work has been integrated into the hotel’s total architecture and design to create a completely curated environment. Guests walking the lobby and encountering one of James Turrell’s light installations or an Ai Weiwei chandelier will know at once that Fontainebleau is unlike any other hotel on earth, and that the party is on.
192
Ai Weiwei Chandeliers In the Chateau Lobby are three crystal chandeliers that impart an ultramodern, sophisticated and glamorous atmosphere. Multimedia impresario Ai Weiwei, designer of the famed “Bird’s Nest” at Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics, created these brilliant chandeliers for Fontainebleau. By dramatically increasing the scale of a normal chandelier, Ai made a common object an unfamiliar and awe-inspiring one. Paradoxically, the sheer size of the complete pieces also emphasizes the thousands upon thousands of individual components required to create them. For Fontainebleau, the chandeliers act as contemporary updates of Morris Lapidus’ original designs. They embrace the historic past of Fontainebleau while simultaneously looking towards the future.
JAMES TURRELL James Turrell’s work in light and color provides Fontainebleau’s artistic signature. Turrell’s work also has a strong historical resonance with Morris Lapidus’ own early experiments. Lapidus, like Turrell, understood the power of light and color to define and shape the guests’ experience.
INSPIRATION An enduring architectural landmark. Bold and imaginative design. Lapidus prompted new and unexpected ways to experience glamour that has been endured for over half a century. The rebirth of Fontainebleau magnificently restored Lapidus’ signature details.
198
COLUMNS A signature effect of Lapidus’ design is the column disappearing into the lighted “cheese hole.” When Lapidus was designing retail stores in New York in the 1950’s, there were typically buildings over the stores, with tons of steel and masonry. Lapidus’ drew the column into a lighted hole so the weight disappeared, thus making the building seem lighter.
His: Hugo Boss suit, shirt and tie clip at Bloomingdale’s, Aventura Mall Hers: Judith Ripka earrings and ring at Timeless, Fontainebleau
CHEESEWALL The underlying project of all Lapidus architecture is to literally make the walls disappear. In many of his designs, Lapidus used indirectly lit display niches in “woggle” shapes to display merchandise and de-substantiate the walls. These cheese “woggles” or “cheese holes” are integrated throughout Fontainebleau with great effect. The architecture resides in arranging and directing the dance of vision.

BOWTIE The “bowtie” floor pattern, one of the original Morris Lapidus design elements is reflexed in the Chateau Lobby’s white marble floor decorated with black marble bows. The bowties are a nod to the ones Lapidus wore personally throughout his entire adult life. Under the design direction of Jeffrey Beers and Lifescapes International, Fontainebleau’s poolscape boasts a bowtie inspired free-form pool.

STAIRWAY TO NOWHERE This iconic landmark maintains its gold hue and original architecture, and it is the focal point of the hotel’s expansive Chateau Lobby. When Fontainebleau opened in 1954, guests descended the Stairway To Nowhere, dressed in their finest evening attire, for the sheer pleasure of making a grand entrance. Today it continues to be used for guests to make an unforgettable entrance.
