Pioneers in the design and hospitality world have collaborated on the renovation of the
Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club.
Located in the coveted neighborhood of Surfside, Miami, The Surf Club is an iconic
oceanfront property dating back to 1930, which has been reimagined to include a 77
room Four Seasons Hotel, 31 hotel residences, 119 private residences, a holistic spa, and
two new restaurants, spread over three buildings.
The Surf Club has preserved key features and amenities from its original structure, including the entrance walkway named Peacock Alley
Pritzker-prize winning architect, Richard Meier, known for the iconic Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and the Getty Center in
Los Angeles, has designed the three buildings that frame and flank the original, preserved
clubhouse. Meier’s buildings are an exercise in discrete, classical modernism,
simultaneously reflecting and disappearing into the changing sky, beach, and sea.
Parisian interior architect Joseph Dirand is responsible for the public areas, spa, and
guestrooms of the hotel along with the beach cabanas. Renowned for his residential
properties and work with luxury fashion house clientele such as Givenchy, Balenciaga,
and Chanel, Dirand has successfully created beautiful spaces with an atmosphere of quiet
drama by using customized furniture, materials, and expert detailing throughout.
Le Sirenuse at The Surf Club
Following a three-year renovation, the club has now reopened its doors under the guidance of Nadim Ashi, the founder of
Fort Partners and owner of the new establishment. Ashi has brought on two of the world’s best-loved names in food to each look after the
hotel’s restaurant concepts: three-star Michelin chef and proprietor, Thomas Keller of
The French Laundry, will be opening his first Miami eatery on the property; and the
famed Sersale family will open a branch of their Positano restaurant Le Sirenuse – their
first culinary venture since opening the original location on the Amalfi Coast. Martin
Brudnizki, known for his work with The Ivy and Le Caprice in London, is designing
Keller’s restaurant, while Joseph Dirand is responsible for Le Sirenuse.
Ashi has also enlisted, Prosper Assouline, founder of the eponymous publishing house, to
design The Hemingway Tower.
