Surfcomber

Top choice in South Beach

LoginSave

The Surfcomber has a classic art-deco exterior with strong lines and shade-providing ‘eyebrows’ that zigzag across the facade. But the interior is the really impressive part – rooms have undeniable appeal, with elegant lines in keeping with the art-deco aesthetic, while bursts of color keep things contemporary.

The lobby and adjoining restaurant are awash with bold colors, decorative wood elements, playful tropical themes and skylights, while a terrace overlooking Collins Ave connects indoor and outdoor spaces. Head around the back for a dazzling view: a massive sun-drenched pool, fringed by palm trees and backed by lovely oceanfront, the beach just steps away.
