Exploring the Iconic Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach

[@eth39232]

Thanks! I have wanted to stay at the Fontaineblue ever since seeing it in the opening scenes after the main titles of Goldfinger, which I think is its most famous movie appearance. I walked through it once but felt out of place and like a bum.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much! This hotel has been featured in so many shows and movies

[@mariamercy7317]

I'm saddened by your words eth. There is no one on Earth better than you. Please don't belittle yourself, you are great! Next time you're in the area, go right ahead, step inside, hold your head up high and walk as if you own the Hotel. We are born for greatness even when we don't have a bank account 😉

The Fontainebleau Hotel is gorgeous, and I really like the Frank Sinatra Photo Exhibit on the walls! 😍 The swimming pools and area look so nice and relaxing. I'm glad no one stopped you from filming, and we get to see this tour through the hotel. 🤩 It's nice that the hotel has access to the Boardwalk and the beach. Thank you so much for sharing, AK! 🤗

[@amtrakbasketmaker6404]

My late partner of 47 years Grandmother was head of housekeeping for over 30 years at the Fountainebleau. He spent many nights there as a kid,

[@fonsecarichard]

Awesome story! Must have been nice to work there and see all the parties and exciting stuff 👍

[@karenl1180]

Beautiful tour of hotel. Lots of memories for me!! Love the way you're so sweet to people you meet. Loved the honest statement about buying an egg at the supermarket!! Ty 😊

Beautiful and peaceful view at the end of your video. I could watch that sunset every night 🌅🏖

[@ActionKid]

That sunset is absolutely gorgeous

[@adityasanthanam1945]

Thank you for showing us this beautiful and iconic hotel. It was in the James Bond film Goldfinger.

[@Erinspeedy]

I'm a pop culture enthusiast and I know that 1992's film The Bodyguard was filmed there! I always wanted to visit

[@ActionKid]

Very cool!

[@krissmgvlogs]

wow, I love that particular image 06:24

[@MoroccoWalkingTours]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you to this amazing luxury place ✨️ 💕.. I really love how you're free to walk and film the whole hotel without having to do a check in first 😍

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome

[@FOTZEL]

WHEW! NOT FOR MOST WORKING STIFFS,BUT AN ICONIC RESORT NEER THE LESS! THX FOR LETTING US FANS OF YOURS TAKE A PEEK.

[@ThePrissy11]

Legendary hotel. Had drinks there once and we bought a day pass to the pool available back then. This was pre South Beach hype I think.

[@Sandgee62]

This was where My family and I spent my christmas vacations. From age 4-10 mid to late sixties, I lived in the pool and the beach.

[@stacyje8205]

Stunning! 🤩 Thank you for the lovely tour of the Fountaine Bleau hotel.

My pleasure, I'm happy you enjoyed the tour!

[@alej8902]

Hi AK! The Fountainbleau is stunning 🤩 Thank you for taking us along!

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@drakidesnick]

Thank you for posting this video. It would have been nice if they hung vintage if photos of sinatra and Elvis performing at that hotel. The renovation is a bit to new for me but I guest it's for the mass appeal. The restoration of the outer part is perfect. Inside is to mainstream. Tony Rome, Lady in Cement and Gold Finger was filmed there.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Such a beautiful hotel day and night . I can see the attraction to why Blue Eyes Sinatra lived there on occasions. I like the circular look inside the hotel reminds me of the inside of a shell 🐚. Thanks for the tour it's gorgeous.

[@ActionKid]

Love the design of the Fontainebleau

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

I went to the Fountainbleau one time 30 years ago with my dad, to meet up with a neighbor/friend of his to watch a boat race (or something like that). I was thinking, maybe you should make and print out some little cards with your channel on them and hand them out to people who encounter you.

[@Erinspeedy]

OMG 1992's film The Bodyguard was filmed there! As a pop culture enthusiast I always wanted to go there

[@sandrakennedy3527]

The hotel was featured in GOLDFINGER,the movie with Sean Connery, as James Bond.

[@eth39232]

Interesting fact though - the scenes with Sean Connery, Gert Frobe, and Shirley Eaton were filmed at the Pinewood Studios. Those actors were never in Miami Beach. However, the opening scenes and one shot of Cec Linder playing Felix Lighter were filmed at the hotel.

[@mariamercy7317]

Beautiful. To think I walked by the Fontainebleau so many times yet never stepped inside. Thanks for sharing... That last round pool is perfect for weddings.

[@ActionKid]

Now you know what's indoors

Really enjoy the Miami hotel walks, gives us a peep of the property before we book.

[@WalksWallStreet]

Wow this place is stunning

[@christinecamley]

Hi Ken. This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel and the features and sheer enormity of space is spectacular. It's beyond posh! The section on one floor dedicated to Frank Sinatra was amazing. It really is kind of like being part of a movie to walk around and see all the sights from the past and take it what the hotel was like when Frank Sinatra stayed there! I really loved when the woman and her children asked if they could take a photo of you and the kids got in the video and waved! Really sweet! This place is so iconic! All the features are the highest in quality but it's even more than that! The Fontainebleau is in a class all itself. The impressive seahorse handles on the entrance doors come with such a beautiful design! The mind blowing beauty of the hallways you walked through were just breathtaking Ken! So gorgeous! The chandeliers are so stunning in the lobby! They are such a treat to see! Everything is in this hotel! You are the best Ken to go and do such a fabulous tour!! Nobody features cities and sights as well!!! I enjoyed this so much!! 🙂

[@ActionKid]

There were so many amazing spots to see in this hotel. My favorite were all the different swimming pools

[@christinecamley]

@@ActionKid Yes!! It would be so lovely to be able to use those pools!!

[@elenaa3408]

Impressive entrance and very luxurious hotel. Loved the whole tour of this iconic hotel...you should do more luxury tourism in all hotels of the world so we can see the different styles. Thank you!

[@mariamercy7317]

That would be awesome Elena. Yes, Ken would be a wonderful Tour Guide.

[@Placesworthliving]

I love your channel and I do video walk throughs of local downtowns in my area. I was wondering if you usually check with someone at the hotels and other venues to let them know who you are or does no one ever really seem to care? Just wondering as I always feel wierd when filming in quasi pubic/private spaces.

The famous James Bond film "Goldfinger" was filmed at the Fontainebleau Hotel in 1964 with Sean Connery.

[@areguapiri]

Loved Fontainebleau back when everyone wore dresses, heals, collared shirts, long pants, and dark shoes.

[@davidwelty9763]

Why would the pool be closed at an expensive 5 star resort? If I paid to stay there I would be mad.

hey action kid, I live at the fontaine bleue in hamilton, ontario. It was actually designed after the fontaine bleue from maimi. I can send you guys pics if you like

[@ActionKid]

Very cool

[@danny2518]

Very sad to see how this whole area has been over built. I lived at the Aztec hotel in 1968 right next to the Fontainebleau Hotel. The Hotels there were small and quite like paradise, now it is like Grand Central Station, big and loud! Also they did not have buildings, only small lower level size hotels.

[@robinmcgraw9893]

Thank You for showing us the Beautiful hotel.

Hey there. If you follow the city activities the Fontainebleau hosts the yearly, "Everything is Chocolate Extravaganza" convention. It is a chocolate lovers paradise for an entire weekend every year. I don't know what happened post pandemic but keep your eyes on the things to do at the hotel. It is a very good time for all.

Hi Ken, FYI take advantage of Miami Spice 2 months run in Aug.& Sept. that features the best restaurants in Miami - Dade county for a reduced fee including the Fontainebleau's Hakhassan. Great Dim Sum & Peking Duck. Been there many times! Bon Apetit!

[@NelsonMorrison-Aldrich]

I just watched the Jerry Lewis movie..THE BELL BOY.. filmed entirely at the Fountainbleau in the 60s..fun to see the original interior..tacky but interesting..I think they used guests as extras..I know it's considered unattractive now but i enjoyed the original interior...so tacky but iconic of the 60s. Wonder what happened to those 60s furnishings!
