Flagler’s investment on the small city on the river created the foundation that helped develop Miami into thriving metropolis today. Although he declined the honor of having the city named after him, Flagler allowed the main artery to bear his name.

By the mid-century 1900’s, Miami was recognized as a major destination when the tourism industry boomed and buildings sprung up along around the area. One of the more famous, flamboyant architects was Morris Lapidus, who was known for his curvy neo-baroque hotel designs that were revolutionary. His unique, magnificent glass buildings with marvelous contours can be spotted across Miami, including the famed Fontainebleau Hotel.

One Flagler represents not only a current presence of significance, but also one that cherishes the past. The new owners and management of One Flagler are proud to keep that retro feeling of embraced heritage within the energy of the building.
