Miami is home to the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in the world. In the late 1970s, many of the buildings were ready for destruction until a local woman set up the Miami Design Preservation League. Now, all the buildings have been restored and are protected. Many of the old Art Deco hotels now house cool bars, restaurants and clubs. The audio tour I did was fascinating, it taught me all about the different Art Deco phases and the unique features of the various buildings. My favourite buildings were those with the blue and yellow colour schemes.
