In the 1920’s the formal machine aesthetics of Le Courbusier, Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus, the Constructivists and De Stijl irrevocably blew apart classical architectural tradition. When these radical styles from the cosmopolitan north were transplanted to the breezy shores of the south, they took on a distinctively tropical tone. Perhaps the foremost exponent of the Deco genre on Miami Beach was Henry Hohauser, and it was he who, in 1939, drew the plans for the Century Hotel, a building generally considered to be among his most successful and delightful designs. In April of 1990 Century South Beach received the Miami Beach Design Preservation league award for outstanding façade preservation. The following year, there was a second, similar award, this time for interiors. Voted one of Travel & Leisure Magazine’s "25 Stylish Hotels for Under $200" for 2001, the 26 room Century South Beach still draws celebrities and models along with a more subdued and grown-up clientele.
