Designed in 1957 by Architect Melvin Grossman, the Deauville was named “Hotel of the Year”, upon opening. Steeped in history and prestige, the Deauville Hotel was a favored Miami Beach home for many notable entertainers of the 1950s through today.

The Deauville is most famous, however, for hosting one of the most significant events in the history of popular music: The Beatles’ performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, February 16, 1964. The Deauville quickly became Hollywood’s favorite destination, opening up with a fully booked season of glamour. The “Rolling Parties” in the Napoleon Ballroom hosted artists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong and Tony Bennett.

Of the many celebrities and personalities who have stayed at the Deauville are Tom Jones, Wayne Newton, Johnny Mathis, Lena Horne, Sophie Tucker, Mickey Rooney, Joan Rivers, Judy Garland, Phil Silvers, Jerry Lewis, Buster Keaton, Betty Grable, Milton Berle, Lome Green, Dany Thomas, Jimmy Durante, President John F. Kennedy, President Ronald Reagan and Eleanor Roosevelt.
