The Raleigh Hotel and its Esther Williams pool
1940
Miami Beach, Florida
L. Murray Dixon, who put up a large share of the deco hotels on this strip, designed the Raleigh in 1940. Its fleur de lis shaped pool was used for swimming spectaculars and for filming, and is associated above all with Esther Williams. The hotel closed after Hurricane Irma damaged it in 2017 and has been passed between developers since.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
