Fabulous architecture! I love how they have preserved the buildings and have only renovated the interiors. They have freshly painted the buildings to spruce them up but the original designs are in tact.

There is no denying that the old Art Deco architecture in this part of Miami Beach is great to see. There would be little need to pay to be shown as it is everywhere as you walk down the main Boulevarde . The area itself though is another matter. This would be great for young party goers and beach goers.... More

If you don't take a walking tour you can still place 'spot the beauties'. You may even be lucky enough to stay in one of these grand dames. Definitely worth an explore when you are in Miami Beach.

My wife and I took the Thursday evening tour offered by the Art Deco Welcome Center, located at Ocean Drive and 10th. Our guide, Paul, assisted by guide-in-training, Chris, provided us the most comprehensive and passionate description of the Art Deco District, its evolution, its history and its current state. The evening tour was ideal, since the weather was more... More

after days of walking everywhere, we rented the local deco bikes, and enjoyed riding around the whole district. after you see ocean ave, collins and washington, keep going into the residential neighborhoods... and marvel at the architecture of a by-gone era, still alive in south beach. we never tired of walking the side streets back to our hotel, and on...

I first came to this part of Miami Beach as a child in the 1950's so I love coming back now to see the unique beautiful architecture and hotels in their restored glory.

I like the way they have fixed up the area, Ocean Blvd has been up and running for several years but on Collins they are rehabs in the works, all around the area. Very crowded area, lots of people out and about anytime of the day!
