Book Miami Beach by Assouline

Description

Considered by many to be the most vibrant, fast-paced and sexiest city in the country, Miami is more popular than ever. Yet it is a city that does not just change but evolves, never rewriting the past, only adding to its illustrious legacy. And that's the real beauty of Miami. The chic Surf Club and vibrant Faena Hotel have not replaced the iconic Raleigh of the 1940s or the Ritz Carlton of the 1950s, but complement them. Classics like Joe's Stone Crab continue to serve their signature cuisine to sold-out crowds every night, while new establishments attract with renowned chefs. The iconic Art Deco architecture remains on full display while the Perez Museum of Modern Art, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, stands in stark contrast. Filled with arts and culture year-round, from international art at the Bass to street art at Wynwood Walls, each December the city is taken over by the world's cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts more than 80,000 visitors who turn out for memorable art, such as Maurizio Cattelan's “Comedian” show, and the exuberant festivities held each evening.

Well known for its nightlife, fun is a focal point of life in Miami at all times. Yachts and pleasure boats line its marinas, bustling beaches offer front-row seats to a parade of tanned partygoers, and bladers and bikers rub shoulders along its waterfront promenades. Miami has become the hub of everything chic, fiery and colorful. Miami Beach takes readers on a tour of this bold and wonderful metropolis.
