The Fontainebleau is one of several Miami Beach hotels designed by noted architect Morris Lapidus. The style has come to be known as Miami Modern, but Lapidus was famous for rejecting the tenets of Modernism and delivering a visual excess akin to the set of a Hollywood musical.

In the text below, you mean "tenets", not "tenants":

It would have been a better idea to post pictures of the building's front instead of the Richard Haas mural on a flat side wall. While the mural is "nice" it is not what is to be recognized architecturally here.

The mural is no longer there - it was demolished during the hotel's remodeling.
