4441 Collins Ave · Miami Beach, FL
The Fontainebleau opened in 1954 on Collins Avenue, designed by Morris Lapidus in the Miami Modern style, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The 20-acre oceanfront resort has 1,504 guestrooms and suites, a poolscape, the 40,000-square-foot Lapis spa and the LIV nightclub. Look for the lobby's floating "Staircase to Nowhere", kept from the original design. The pool appears in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.
