Rooms and suites in The Confidante pay tribute to the city’s art deco heritage. The hotel’s distinctive beach kit was used as a prop by Lady Gaga in 2017, when she posted Instagram pictures of herself on one of the lounges. Today, the vibe at the 354-room Confidante is bright and breezy, especially when you hit the sand and are entitled to claim one of the hotel’s striped beach lounges and umbrellas. Billed as the tallest building in Miami when it went up, the Lord Tarleton was synonymous with decadence right on the beach, boasting those ultimate luxuries of the day – a kosher dining room and rooftop solarium. The heritage-listed original main tower of The Confidante first opened as the 14-storey Lord Tarleton Hotel in the 1940s. Hyatt Hotels Corporation bought the three-tower property in 2016, rebranding it under its Unbound Collection, which aims to retain the individuality of its character properties. Once Miami’s tallest building, The Confidante now comprises three towers. It’s also a handy 15-minute drive across Biscayne Bay to the Miami Design District. It’s a quality, mid-range 4.5 star option that will appeal particularly to architecture and design buffs, with its original grand foyer and cascading chandelier. The Confidante Miami Beach is situated a 30-minute stroll along the beachfront boardwalk north of South Beach’s famed Ocean Drive: the heart of art deco Miami, and where the late Gianni Versace had a mansion. For me, Miami was and will forever be candy coloured. All these decades later, when selecting a hotel on the back of a work trip to nearby Fort Lauderdale, out of the three options the Miami visitor’s bureau sent through, my eye was drawn immediately to the seductive pastel hues of The Confidante.
