It was Art Deco Weekend in South Beach and we were lucky enough to see in person one of the most photographed hotels along Ocean Drive, the gorgeous Colony Hotel. The famed Art Deco Colony Hotel’s plans were completed in 1935 by architect Henry Hohauser, one of the earliest proponents of streamlined architecture on Miami Beach. The hotel was designed with fifty rooms, each featuring a private bath. The building itself was meant to be “modern in every way,” and incorporated two innovations for the time: steel corner windows and the building’s neon marquee (an inverted “T” bearing the hotel’s name).
