Fontainebleau President and COO Philip Goldfarb takes FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on a tour of the famous hotel in Miami known for hosting celebrities and handmade baked goods.
History meets luxury at the iconic Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.
The hotel, which opened in 1954, was always a place to “see and be seen,” according to Fontainebleau President Philip Goldfarb, regarding the many celebrities who have visited.
Among some of the most famous faces to grace the Fontainebleau include Frank Sinatra, who vacationed and lived at the hotel. Now, Goldfarb said, there’s an entire gallery dedicated to Sinatra filled with exclusive memorabilia.
“Frank Sinatra is in our DNA here, as entertainment is to this day,” Goldfarb told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo.

Goldfarb said, aside from celebrity influence, the Fontainebleau maintains a state-of-the-art chocolate factory and bakery which produces fresh, handmade pastries, pretzels and gelato.
“Everything you eat here is made fresh on [the] property,” he said. “What’s really unique is everything is made from scratch.”
