ICON
The smooth Modernism of the early 20th century meets pastel colours, sleek curves and neon signs: the sunny take on Art Deco that gives Miami Beach its distinctive architectural style is the epitome of tropical Americana. A wander among its historic hotels and apartment buildings evokes the early romance of ocean and train travel, when the world was a place full of possibilities.
