I stayed at the Four Seasons at the Surf Club, an iconic 5-star hotel in Miami.
The Surfside hotel had some unique touches that stood out from other luxury hotels I've visited.

I knew my stay at The Four Seasons at the Surf Club would be luxurious.

The hotel in Miami's residential Surfside neighborhood, just north of Miami Beach, has earned high praise.

Condé Nast Traveler readers named it the No. 1 hotel in all of Florida this year for the second consecutive year, and the publication recently put the beachside property on its Gold List, its selection of the world's best hotels and resorts for 2024.

I also knew, from a previous stay at another Four Seasons, to expect excellence.

But there were still aspects of my stay that set it apart from other luxury hotels I've visited.

From a cabana to an electric car for hotel guests, these details caught my eye during a recent visit.

From the moment I got to The Four Seasons at the Surf Club, I felt like I'd stepped back in time — and into a more glamorous world.

In my room, I was greeted by a jaw-dropping ocean view. I could press a button to pull back the drapes, which felt like the ultimate luxury.

I loved the light settings right by the bed in my room.

There was a tote in the closet that was free to use by the pool or at the beach.

In the bathroom, there were thoughtful touches including mosquito-bite wipes.

The most unique perk was access to an electric car that you can drive around the beach or Miami.

The hotel provided full service at the beach.
