Since 1930 the Surf Club has been Miami's premier address for the very finest in dining and dancing in an atmosphere of elegant sophistication.
The club's glittering early parties hosted world famous personalities such as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and General Douglas MacArthur. The parties played host to Metropolitan Opera soprano Lily Pons, New York chanteuse Hildegarde, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Other early guests include Winston Churchill, who painted seascapes from his Surf Club cabana, and 1950s General Motors' Chairman Charles Wilson. Wilson displayed the new car models each fall for the press and dealers in the Club's grand ballrooms.
In recent years, entertainer Tony Bennett sang for a club party, and the club has played host to Senator and Mrs. Robert Dole, former Vice President Dan Quayle, television journalist David Brinkley, and world famous singer Julio Iglesias.
The newly renovated Surf Club enters the twenty-first century as Miami's most elegant address for major charity balls for up to eight hundred people, as well as for lovely wedding receptions, intimate dinner parties, and business luncheons and meetings.
In addition to the excellent entertainment facilities, the Surf Club offers its members and guests the opportunity to stay at the Club, their 'home away from home.
