More often than not, the ICON series of condominiums are regarded as the pinnacle and the paradigm when it comes to a true all-in-one immaculate combination of design and extravagant accommodations. As one of three condos that carries the exalted ICON name, the ICON South Beach, a project by the distinguished Related Group, still stands today as the "crème de la crème" of South Beach’s outstanding collection of luxury condominiums.
A jaw dropping twenty foot ceiling will tower over guests and residents when they step inside the doors of ICON South Beach and find themselves surrounded within the grandiose lobby. The mind blowing amount of detail that has gone into the creation has to be seen to be believed. The lobby stands as a testament to the paramount features found elsewhere within the ICON such as the sprawling infinity edge swimming pools, the tea and coffee lounges perfect for socializing with fellow inhabitants and guests and the health spa with its own sauna and steam rooms.
Six distinct floor plans overlooking the bay or the ocean with up to three bedrooms are available to select from the ICON’s more than 250 units. These floor plans feature elevated nine foot ceilings, the option of four interior color schemes designed by Philippe Starck and tinted glass windows. Additional options include the choice of granite or marble countertops within the kitchens which also come with high end appliances and European cabinetry. Look for more of Philippe Starck’s unique touch within the bathrooms fixtures and surrounded whirlpool tubs that stand regally atop the posh marble floors.
As one of the first condominiums visitors will see as they enter South Beach, the ICON is literally near everything. More often than not, one can simply walk over from the building to enjoy the food at the top notch restaurants or sip a drink or coffee at the multitude of bars and cafes strewn profusely in every direction. If you’re looking for that perfect outfit for the evening, just hop over to Lincoln Road and shop at one of the several boutiques. Once you’re done shopping, Ocean Drive will entertain you from the early evenings when the night has just begun to the first signs of daylight as the sun slowly rises to radiate across the shimmering sands of Miami Beach.
