Inside, there are plenty of Insta-worthy shots such as a winding staircase, whimsical hallways, and 54 ornately decorated rooms.
The outside is well-deserving of your visit as well! Once you step out the back doors, you’re immediately greeted by the bay, which totally has Venetian vibes all in the gardens and gazebo, too.

I don’t mean to brag, but Miami has some pretty gorgeous beaches, which make South Beach one of the best places to take pictures in Miami.
Miami is known for its iconic multicolored lifeguard towers that begin near South Pointe Park, which is the southernmost part of South Beach.
