Four Seasons Hotel Miami

Gary E. Handel's 70-storey Brickell tower with Tara Bernerd interiors — 221 hotel keys on floors 8 through 29, three Fernando Botero bronzes anchoring the lobby, and a 2-acre poolside palm grove that ranks among downtown Miami's most genuinely private amenities. EDGE Brasserie runs the main dining room under Chef Edouard Deplus; the 50,000 sq ft spa is operated in partnership with Equinox.

The 70-story Brickell tower houses Four Seasons' Miami flagship: rooms from the 22nd floor up, a two-acre pool terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay, and a long-running reputation as the address of choice for visiting heads of state.
