Harry Mufson hired Morris Lapidus to build him a rival next door to the Fontainebleau, and Ben Novack told Lapidus he would be barred from his hotel forever if he took the job. Lapidus took it and opened the Eden Roc in December 1955 with Harry Belafonte on stage. In 1962 Novack put up a blank fourteen storey tower positioned to throw the Eden Roc's pool into shadow. The courts ruled there is no legal right to sunlight.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
