The Colony and Boulevard Hotels

The Colony and Boulevard Hotels in South Beach.

 

The Colony Hotel was built in 1935. It is considered one of the first Streamline Moderne hotels in South Beach.

 

The Colony Hotel's prominent, almost movie theater, masonry marquee makes it one of the most recognizable hotels on Ocean Drive. Long, Moderne-styled ribbons of windows with eyebrows that wrap around the corner offset the powerful vertical sign.

 

The Boulevard is a more recent hotel built in 1950 - long after the Art Deco movement.
