Since 1955, the Eden Roc has graced Miami Beach's prestigious Golden Mile at 45th Street and Collins Avenue.  Designed by famed architect Morris Lapidus, who recently received a lifetime achievement award from the Cooper Hewitt Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, the hotel became a landmark, setting a new standard for luxury hotels on Miami Beach and attracting the era�s biggest celebrities, including Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Jerry Lewis and others. 
 

Located on prime oceanfront property, the 349-room resort has been restored to a contemporary interpretation of Lapidus' original design.  Italian marble, white terrazzo floors accented by a black fleur de lis pattern, and grand circular lobby with a central rotunda featuring a gilt-trimmed �cloud� backlit with sky-blue neon greet guests at the entrance.  Within the lobby is Harry's American Bar, a popular meeting spot in Miami for martinis and mingling.
