Hotel Clifton, Miami

Hotel Clifton, MiamiThe Hotel Clifton in Miami South Beach has a very simple streamline facade with virually no decoration.

In fact, there are only two concrete shelves above the ground floor and second storey windows and that is about it.

    Deco is largely deco all over the world, but there is something uniquely Miami Beach about these hotels. Even the colours are more maritime than is usual in Deco architecture. Love it!

    The colours work so well in the heat of Miami so it is funny and sad to see them used in colder climates because they think that is the Deco thing.
