Life of Luxury, Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

The Life of Luxury: Ritz-Carlton, South Beach | Tony Capecchi | StarTribune.com: "... my wife and I gazed out from our corner-suite balcony on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach watching the sun rise over the most famous beach in the world. That’s a statement I never thought I would make, and a view I know I will never forget. We were just visitors in this foreign world, where beautiful people stroll by with million-dollar smiles and $50,000 purses, so we soaked in South Beach as best we could during our weekend at the famous hotel. Our impression of the land of luxury? Puttin’ on the Ritz was every bit as magnificent as we had imagined...." (read more at the link above)

Miami, Miami Beach, Architecture, Survival

Allan Shulman on his new Miami Center for Architecture and Design and the rapidly changing city it occupies:

Embracing Miami’s Past and Future - NYTimes.com: ". . . .The best new building? I’m thinking it’s more of a trend of buildings. The recent work of Herzog & de Meuron, like the 1111 building on Lincoln Road, with the open parking garage, and the new Perez Art Museum Miami, are notable for the way they have plumbed Miami’s tropical identification. Those buildings brought tropicalizing architectural features to contemporary designs. These days no stone is left unturned in making projects into an opportunity to show design. It’s proof that an architectural culture is ascendant. What about the rising sea? Is Miami doomed? No, I’m an optimist. Miami changes rapidly. It always has. I live in a different city from the one I moved to 22 years ago. People will rise to whatever challenge comes. We will create new environments. Maybe stilts, or the city will reconfigure itself. It will survive...." (read more at link above)

Miami Beach Art Fairs Art Basel and NADA

Yes, Basel and its brethren were a mad blur of dollar signs, branding, V.I.P. check-ins and, of course, Kimye. But as tedious as all that could be, there were still a few moments that mattered (source infra) 

Art Market | A Social Diary of This Year's Miami Art Fairs - NYTimes.com: " . . .Dealers at the two biggest fairs, Art Basel in Miami Beach, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and NADA (the New Art Dealers Alliance), at the Deauville Beach Resort in North Beach, boasted that despite predictions of Basel burnout, plenty of collectors attended and sales were stronger than in recent years. So rest assured that these tropical rituals of end-of-year excess will continue for the foreseeable future. . . .At some point, the branded, guest-listed rigmarole becomes tedious for even the most seasoned and elite Basel-goer. For this reason, the best end-of-night activity throughout the week was the one that lacked any discernible structure (though even it had a sponsor — Hennessey). At a mansion in the Venetian Islands, the Parisian party promoters Pigalle and the American rapper Mykki Blanco gathered friends and friends of friends to pump out tunes and Instagrams each day, from midafternoon until well after the sun came up the next day."

Roberto Cavalli, Tuscan Restaurant, Miami Beach

The designer Roberto Cavalli is poised to open his own South Beach restaurant offering tweaked Tuscan specialties and wines produced in the Cavalli family vineyards --

Roberto Cavalli’s Tuscan Restaurant, in Miami Beach - NYTimes.com:
" . . . For Mr. Cavalli, the frenzied art scene here holds no fascination . . . . ”Miami Beach itself, though, is quite another matter. As he lounged poolside at the Delano Hotel in South Beach, Mr. Cavalli recalled earlier visits to the blue-and-white resort. The beach and hectic night life were certainly attractions. “In the old days, and maybe I preferred them, Miami was a little wild,” he said. “But it was impossible to get a nice hotel.” Times change. “Now the city is hot,” he said. Enough of a magnet, in fact, to have inspired him to establish a new outpost. (The Bal Harbour shops are home to a Cavalli boutique.) The restaurant, scheduled to open just in advance of the new year, bears the designer’s candidly louche imprimatur. The interior of the two-story Mediterranean Deco structure, at 150 Ocean Drive, will be bathed in zebra and jaguar prints, the table linens patterned in tropical blooms...." (more at link above)
