Cardozo Hotel, Miami
One of Miami鈥檚 first beach hotels, The Cardozo is yet another fine example of traditional Art Deco style. Designed by Henry Hohauser, one of the principal architects of South Beach Deco, this building was completed in 1939, featuring rounded edges combined with the straight lines of the windows. The hotel was named after Benjamin Cardozo, one of the first Jewish jurors appointed to the US Supreme Court.
In the early 1990s the building was purchased by pop music icon Gloria Estefan and underwent an extensive $15-million renovation. Today, the hotel has a sleek, contemporary all-white aesthetic whilst maintaining its heritage. The newly remodeled rooms and suites offer a quiet and luxurious space to retreat.
The Cardozo has appeared in several Hollywood movies, such as Any Given Sunday, There鈥檚 Something About Mary, Marley & Me, and The Birdcage. In There鈥檚 Something About Mary, it was here that they filmed the scene where Mary infamously borrows Ted鈥檚 鈥渉air gel.鈥�
