The Carlyle

other

The Carlyle features a distinctive geometric facade with three vertical tiers of rounded glass blocks and curved corners. Built in nineteen thirty-nine, the hotel serves as a primary example of Streamline Moderne architecture in the Miami Beach district. During the nineties, the property gained fame as the primary filming location for the movie The Birdcage, where it played the role of a drag club. Its bright white and teal exterior remains a signature silhouette along the oceanfront, capturing the aesthetic of that era.
