As a testament to its storied past, the resort still honors its heritage today through several carefully preserved elements. The original Carillon sign, a hallmark of mid-century modern design, greets visitors with its sleek elegance. Inside, the terrazzo floors, a defining feature of the resort’s early design, continue to impress with their polished beauty and timeless appeal. The floors, crafted from a blend of marble, quartz, and glass chips set in cement, embody both strength and style—a reflection of the resort’s enduring presence in Miami’s architectural landscape.
In the same spirit, the original white panels—once part of the resort’s staircase— were carefully restored and now proudly reside above the guest services desk as well as in the porte cochere, adding a nostalgic touch and reinforcing the architectural legacy that defined the resort’s early years.
In addition to these historic elements, collectors’ items displayed in glass cases within The Strand restaurant offer guests a deeper look into Carillon’s past. Here, visitors can view silverware from the original era, vintage menus, photographs, and postcards, preserving moments from the resort’s golden age. These artifacts allow guests to connect with the legacy of the property while experiencing its modern transformation.
