Miami Beach offers more than just Art Deco buildings; it is also blessed with diverse cultural institutions. Museums, theaters and galleries are all within walking distance of the Hotel Astor.
The Hotel Astor is located right across the street from the Wolfsonian Museum-Florida International University, housed in a 1927 Mediterranean-Revival building designed by Edwin Robertson and Lawrence Patterson. This isn't your typical museum. Founded in 1986 to preserve the collection of Mitchell Wolfson Jr., it zeros in on advertisements and design from the height of the Industrial Age (1885-1945).
The Hotel Astor is also within walking distance from the new Cultural Campus, which houses the Bass Museum of Art with its permanent collection of important European art, the Public Library, the Miami City Ballet headquarters, the South Florida Art Center and the future New World Symphony.
Spend an afternoon strolling down Lincoln Road Mall and Espanola Way to browse the many galleries displaying exciting work from contemporary artists, or get tickets to a show at the historic Filmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater.
