Kent, our friendly and witty guide, gave us a thorough rundown on the history of Miami Beach (less than 100 years old), then brought us to see some Art Deco gems. The Essex Hotel's lobby with its beautiful mural was a highlight, as were the Winter Haven and the Victor. The 90-minute tour provided us with helpful context; we enjoyed the rest of the weekend pointing out "eyebrows," "frozen fountains," "portholes," and "the rule of three" in the historic district. Take this excellent tour and discover these concepts while also helping to sustain the efforts of the MDPL.
