Opened in 1930 by tire maker Harvey Firestone, the once- exclusive and private Miami club has gone public as a Four Seasons Hotel. Surfside established its fun rep in those prohibition days and beyond, when only the rich and famous few could enjoy the boozy elegance.

Wall Street, European royalty, Broadway and Hollywood’s elite of the time let it all hang out at the Surf Club. You could rub shoulders and other body parts with Liz Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, General MacArthur and/or Al Capone.

The upscale hotel features 77 luxurious rooms. Outdoor cabanas have terrazzo floors and expansive wood deck lanais with beautiful ocean views. Rooms are from about $1,000. The Four Seasons, 9011 Collins Ave., Surfside, FL; fourseasons.com
