The eleven-story structure housed 554 rooms, elegant shops, an ice skating rink, a cat-shaped pool, and lavish dining spaces \u2013 all aimed at attracting the affluent and high-profile guests Novack envisioned. The hotel quickly became a symbol of opulence and innovation. The&nbsp; grand opening on December 20, 1954, featured a $50 per plate dinner dance for 1,600 guests, including 110 pounds of caviar. Liberace performed at the piano, and Groucho Marx proclaimed Fontainebleau Miami Beach \u201cThe Eighth Wonder of the World.\u201d The resort\u2019s opening solidified Miami Beach&#8217;s status as a premier destination for the rich and famous, with its distinctive design and extravagant amenities attracting celebrities and dignitaries from around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div> <div class=\"uvreadmore_short\"><p>In 1954, Fontainebleau Miami Beach made its global debut, forever changing the landscape of luxury hospitality in south Florida and beyond.
