An updated look has refreshed the property all over again, luring a new generation of celebrities and bon vivants.

The Fontainebleau, an iconic hotel by the godfather of gaudy resort design, architect Morris Lapidus, has been synonymous with South Beach glamour ever since it came roaring onto the scene in 1954. The Rat Pack treated it like their private clubhouse. Miami’s pretty young things flitted about La Ronde supper club in furs and pearls, vying for the attention of gawking high rollers. Notorious gossip columnist Walter Winchell hobnobbed with the celebrity clientele at night—then dished their dirt in the morning paper. These days, an updated look has refreshed the property all over again, luring a new generation of celebrities and bon vivants. Is that Jay-Z eating sushi at Blade? Yes. Kate Hudson at the pool? You bet. Frank Sinatra’s crooning ballads have been replaced by the beats of world famous DJs at the nightclub LIV. While the resort’s gloss ups the buzz quotient, thoughtful design touches lend Fontainebleau 2.0 gravitas. Interior designer David Collins washed an outpost of Scott Conant’s Italian restaurant Scarpetta in a nautical aesthetic, the marine lacquer and worn driftwood blending gracefully with the turquoise ocean views. New York–based designer Jeffrey Beers was tapped for the lobby, where a James Turrell light installation sets the space aglow in radiant magenta tones, and the rooms, which are outfitted in 1960s accent lamp and pop art works. One new addition, the audacious white-marbled spa with jet baths, rain tunnels, and a 75-foot mineral pool, would surely make the original architect smile.
