Lonely Planet review

If you're going to send the family some corny postcards (of which there is no shortage), do so from this 1937 deco gem, the first South Beach renovation project tackled by preservationists in the '70s. This Depression moderne building in the 'stripped classic' style was constructed thanks to President Franklin D Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA), which supported unemployed artists during the Great Depression.

On the exterior, note the bald eagle; inside, gaze at a beautifully restored painted paper ceiling and a large wall mural of the Seminole Wars.
