Discover Why This Historic Miami Social Club Still Attracts A-Listers Today
Founded nearly 100 years ago,The Surf Clubremains a significant presence within Miami’s Four Seasons Hotel in Surfside. You can feel the history as you stroll down the hotel’s palm-lined Peacock Alley, with handmade Italian tile underfoot, opulent chandeliers overhead, and the ocean peeking through the arched doorway. This legacy is further emphasized when you notice the black-and-white photograph of Winston Churchill painting a beach scene during one of his visits. Opened in 1930 by tire magnate Harvey Firestone, the exclusive social club hosted Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, and Gary Cooper, along with dignitaries including Douglas MacArthur and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
