MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT’S MUSEUM GARAGE
Located in the artistically rich Design District, this seven-story mixed-use parking garage was commissioned by Craig Robins in partnership with architect and curator Terence Riley. Tapping five different architects—WORKac, J. Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe and Riley’s own architectural firm K/R (Keenen/Riley)—the functional piece of art serves as the perfect backdrop with its unique and eye-catching creations to choose from. 90 NE 41st St., Miami, @miamidesigndistrict

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL AT THE SURF CLUB
Easily one of the most lustworthy and historic locations in Miami, this property is a remarkable gem from the inside out. From its beachfront location to its restored architectural elements that transport guests back to the glory days of the 1930s, to its striking, Joseph Dirand-designed spaces—photogenic opportunities are endless, as are its luxurious offerings. 9011 Collins Ave., Surfside, @fssurfside

THE GOODTIME HOTEL LIBRARY
This Ken Fulk-designed whimsical wonderland seamlessly combines high design with the vibrancy of Miami. While each space inside the hotel serves as the perfect backdrop in its own right, the library is truly striking, boasting a pretty powder pink palette, complemented by colorful hardcover books, accent furniture, copper-encased lighting fixtures and playful wallpaper that reinvent the bland preconceived perceptions of old-school reading spaces. 601 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, @thegoodtimehotel

Since the hotel’s introduction to Miami’s downtown neighborhood, its famous elevators have made an appearance on thousands of Instagram feeds and stories. The futuristic infinity mirrors that stretch from top to bottom emit a shine and sparkle that emanate from fiber-optic light strands—never failing to impress its riders and prompting an in-elevator photo shoot that will leave viewers in awe. 788 Brickell Plaza, Miami, @eastmia
