I'm starting to like my photo, but it's out of date now. If anyone has one from after the renovations that would be better. I don't. Rees11 (talk) 16:59, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Style in Summary

"It must have been named after the city of Fontainebleau in France, famous for its Palace and its forest." Really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.116.173.184 (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

What is the last picture ?

Hi guys, I don't know anything about this hotel but while visiting the page, I clicked on one of the pictures and cycled through to the end and the last one is a picture of the oceanfront, roughly centered on the Nautilus South Beach... almost 2 miles further south of the Fontainebleau. If that picture is relevant, the caption needs precision and also, why does it appear it the series but not on the page itself. Thank You, HF. Netweezurd (talk) 17:54, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Times Square Ball with Bow Ties

The "History" section of this page needs updating. The hotel is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, beginning with sponsoring the new design of the Times Square Ball and the celebrations in Times Square on New Years Eve 2023-2024. Please add the following to the end of the History section, describing the event:

A newly re-designed Times Square Ball helped inaugurate the New Year of 2024 as part of the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the opening of the hotel. Fontainebleau's Chief Brand and Design Officer Peter Arnell designed the new animation for the iconic ball based on the Fontainebleau's ubiquitous bow tie theme.

I am pinging AJFU who has been helpful on the Fontainebleau Las Vegas page in the past. Thanks so much. Cade Stiles (talk) 17:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with this article, but I suppose I could take a closer look at your request next week, if no one else responds by then.  AJFU  (talk) 14:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I've added it in, but made a few changes for conciseness, and also added a bit about Morris Lapidus being the hotel's designer. Also, words like "iconic" should be avoided per MOS:FLOWERY.  AJFU  (talk) 14:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Times Square Ball Pictures

Hello SergeWoodzing, I noticed you removed the New Year's Eve Times Square Ball photos from the Fontainebleau Miami Beach page. I thought I would explain why I feel they're relevant. The photos highlight the 'bowtie' design, reminiscent of Morris Lapidus' work on the Fontainebleau. Also, the Fontainebleau sponsored the 2023/24 New Year's event, connecting it to the hotel's 70th anniversary. According to Wikipedia's guidelines on relevance, these details seem to tie the photos closely to the hotel's story. I am hoping this makes sense and don't mind if I re-post the photos. I am happy to discuss further. Thanks for considering this! Cade Stiles (talk) 18:49, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

I do not see relevance. It's too far-fetched. And two photos is way too much in any case. The hotel sponsored an event in NYC. And? Pls do not put any NYC photo back until we have consensus, or at until direkt relevance has been explained. So far, it has not. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

I have added 2 clarification tags. Lapidus's article makes no mention that I can see of bowties. Start there? Lead material?

Aren't there any Beach photos of the a bowtie theme at that hotel? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:02, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

The Fontainebleau is in Florida, and the photo (attached) was taken in New York. Thus, it's a bit "out-of-scope" (by a thousand miles), or as MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE states, "decorative". Magnolia677 (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Towers' name correction

Hi AJFU. I am hoping you will agree again to help out with the simple edit request, as follows:

• In the fifth paragraph of the History section the following sentence needs to be updated, since the towers described are no longer called "Fontainebleau II and III". They are now called Trésor Tower and Sorrento Tower. Therefore change this:

The renovation and expansion led by architect John Nichols, from Coral-Gables-based Nichols Architects, included a 36-story condominium-hotel (Fontainebleau II), and a second 18-story tower (Fontainebleau III), all located on the same premises as the original hotel.

To this:

The renovation and expansion led by architect John Nichols, from Coral-Gables-based Nichols Architects, included a 36-story condominium-hotel (Trésor Tower), and a second 18-story tower (Sorrento Tower), all located on the same premises as the original hotel.

When did the name changes occur? Were the old names used frequently and long enough that it would make sense to still mention them along with the new names?  AJFU  (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
