A Miami Beach landmark hotel, designed by Morris Lapidus. In his 1996 autobiography Too Much is Never Enough, Moris Lapidus wrote that if: "American taste was being influenced by the greatest mass media of entertainment of that time, the movies...So I designed a movie set!" The hotel was built by hotelier Ben Novak on the Firestone estate. Lapidus conceived of the ideas for the hotel each morning as he took a subway from Flatbush to his office in Manhattan.
The hotel is also famous for its victory in the landmark 1959 Florida District Courts of Appeal decision, Fontainebleau Hotel Corp. v. Forty-Five Twenty-Five, Inc. 114 So. 2d 357, in which the Fontainebleau Hotel successfully appealed an injunction by the neighboring Eden Roc Hotel, to prevent construction of an expansion that blocked sunlight to the Eden Roc's swimming pool. The Court rejected the Eden Roc's claim to an easement allowing sunlight, in favor of affirming the Fontainebleau's vertical property rights to build on its land.
The Fontainbleau recently reopened following an extensive, two-year renovation, which also saw the construction of new condos on the propertry.
It has been featured in such films as "Goldfinger", "The Bellboy", "Scarface", "Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach", "The Specialist", and "The Bodyguard". It gained a second round of architectural fame by its inclusion in critic and novelist Tom Wolfe's "From Bauhaus to Our House", which was published in 1981. It was featured prominently as a location for the third season of the Amazon series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" as she goes on tour with Shy Baldwin.
