Royal Palm Hotel
Henry Flagler opened Miami's first big resort hotel in 1897, with the city's first electric lights, lifts and swimming pool. The 1926 hurricane and termites finished it, and it was condemned and torn down in 1930. On the site now: The Kimpton Epic hotel and the Met Square towers, where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay (the Dupont Plaza Hotel stood on part of the site from 1957 to 2004).
