The Colony Hotel features a bright neon sign that cuts across its vertical, streamline facade. Built in nineteen thirty-five by architect Henry Hohauser, it remains the quintessential example of Miami Beach Art Deco. During the nineteen forties, the lobby served as a frequent backdrop for film crews shooting motion pictures that showcased the city as a tropical destination. The hotel maintains its original terrazzo floors and period lighting, preserving the precise look it presented when first opening its doors to early vacationers.
