One distinguishing part of the hotel is the lobby, which still retains (even after successive renovations) the original aesthetic of the design.
I love the fact that at certain times during the day and with different lighting the mood of the space changes dramatically.
Bright, light and airy during the day and cozy intimatae and warm during the evening!
Hello David:
ReplyDeleteThe 'Miami Modern Style' seems an absolutely perfect description for this hotel which is so reminiscent of the late 1950s in design and paint colour.
The hotel lobby has reassuringly kept its integrity and we are so pleased that the red lampshades now seem to have disappeared. For us, they were the only jarring note.
I thought about you and vintage travel this week as I was reading the Southwest magazine during my flight home from Las Vegas. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the airline, the magazine cover image was of a group of Southwest stewardesses in their uniforms of bright orange tunics, orange hot pants and white boots. Classic.
ReplyDeleteI love to play with lights — uplights, recessed lights, track lights, candles — lighting is such a fun and easy way to achieve moods, as you've so ably demonstrated. The next time I'm in Miami (it's not too far), I'll look for the Eden Roc Hotel!
ReplyDeleteI've stayed at the Eden Roc a couple of times while in South Beach...it was great. Makes me think of planning another trip back soon.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lobby. What magnificent design. Didn't you know some of the best things (me) were built in 1956?!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend David.
wow, what an amazing place. Love the signage style and the internal looks so exotic. i think i was born in the wrong time, i still wish we created architecture that way!
ReplyDeletehope you have a lovely weekend david
What a cool hotel. I"m so bummed, I had to cancel the Miami portion of my trip this summer...I"m dying to go....maybe in the fall.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I regret my family were Fontainbleau
ReplyDeletepeople during my youth, and thus I missed out the visual delight of "The Roc".
Hmm I have never been to Miami but looking at these pictures is very intriguing.. Ha my pale skin would probably burn the second I step outside the airport..
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Angel
