Eden Roc Miami Beach

4525 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA

Miami Modern beachfront resort with grand staircases and rosewood columns, built to outshine its rival next door.

This guide to Eden Roc Miami Beach traces the rivalry behind that blank, nearly windowless wall next door at the Fontainebleau, built after hotel owners Harry Mufson and Ben Novack split as bitter partners in the 1950s. You'll hear how Mufson lured away architect Morris Lapidus to build the Eden Roc in 1955, and how Novack answered with a tower engineered to steal the sun from his rival's pool. It follows the lawsuit that reached Florida's highest court and still shapes property law today.
