Head to the Fontainebleau Miami Beach for the Ultimate Cocktail Bar Tour

Fontainebleau Miami Beach, much like a jeroboam of prestigious French champagne, is spectacularly massive and glamorous. The oceanfront resort property’s style and sophistication has been attracting legendary celebrities and global visitors since 1954. While Fontainebleau boasts lavish suites and a dramatic outdoor pool-scape, it is also home to the world-renowned LIV Nightclub, and 12 restaurants and lounges.

Our cocktail lounge tour starts with the Fontainebleau’s famous circular blue-lit lobby bar, Bleau. Then, we’ll travel on to the lounges housed in Fontainebleau’s two signature restaurants, Scarpetta and Hakkasan as well as Michael Mina’s restaurants, StripSteak and Pizza & Burger.
