Surfside, United States

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose this Surfside address for a historic clubhouse, a measured hotel scale and direct beachfront days away from South Beach’s busier center.

About the hotel

Opened by Four Seasons in 2017 on the site of the Surf Club, which began in 1930, this oceanfront property occupies nine acres in Surfside. Its scale is unusually intimate for a resort: 77 guest rooms sit alongside four bungalows and hotel residences, with the original clubhouse at the heart of the grounds. Richard Meier’s newer buildings frame that historic structure, while Joseph Dirand’s interiors and the beachfront setting shape a stay oriented around the shore, the pools and the club’s dining rooms.

Choose it if

You want beachfront time with three outdoor pools and the option of a quieter, adults-only pool.
You value a historic setting: the original 1930 clubhouse remains among Richard Meier’s newer buildings.
You want dining and a Champagne Bar on site, including The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller.

Skip it if

You want to be based in South Beach itself; the hotel is in Surfside, and the hotel estimates a 20-minute drive to Miami Beach.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One guest who stayed for a couple’s getaway found the experience underwhelming for roughly $2,000 a night, but rated the restaurant highly. That contrast suggests the dining stood out more than the overall stay for this guest.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“We stayed here two years ago for a couple weekend getaway and i was underwhelmed we paid about 2k a night and felt it was just meh. the restaurant thought is top tier”

Bal Harbour, United States

BeachCoastal

On Bal Harbour’s northern tip, this waterfront resort occupies a site between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Its defining draw is a low-key coastal setting rather than Miami’s busier beachfront districts. The property is undergoing a transformation and plans to welcome guests again starting in January 2027. The hotel says the next chapter will bring redesigned guest rooms and suites, a chef-led signature restaurant, a members club, and an elevated spa and wellness offering.
