Historic Art Deco District

Miami Beach is filled with colorful accents and distinctive architectural lines, curves, and fountains, but the historic neighborhood is where you'll see them most often. The highest concentration of the country's sleek and vivid architectural styles may be seen in Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District, where the styles of the 1920s and 1930s are still very much alive. There are about 800 buildings in the district that have been designated as historic; however, some of them also exhibit other modern architectural forms from various periods in Miami's history. The district has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

With its striking brilliant hues and pastels, geometric shapes and curves, chrome accents, window "eyebrows," and fountains, Art Deco is simple to identify at Miami Beach. You may enjoy some sunshine while taking in the stunning Art Deco skyline at Lummus Park.

The Clevelander South Beach, well known for its party atmosphere and DJs by the pool, and the beautiful Villa Casa Casuarina, originally known as the Versace Mansion but now a regal hotel with 10 guest suites, are other notable Art Deco structures. The 1940-opened National Hotel is renowned for its eponymous infinity pool. A-list celebrities have long made the Delano South Beach, previously the region's tallest structure, their preferred party location.

Picking up some trinkets or eating a meal along Lincoln Road, a 10-block pedestrian-only promenade of stores, restaurants, and other attractions, is a pleasant way to see the area's Art Deco design features.
