I guessed it was a hotel, but it's only a guess. I've flown over Miami several times, but have not spent any time outside of the airport except to stay at the airport Marriott for one night.

clue, C.I.

The name of the hotel has to do with a color.

C.I. I may have mislead you with the color clue as this particular hotel has an Americanized spelling of a French name.

Coming back to the Miami hotel, it's Fontainebleau hotel.

And the origin of Fontainebleau:
Fontaine - Spring or fountain
Belle - beautiful
eau - water
So, Fontainebleau means "spring of beautiful water"

As I indicated, folks. The spelling that I got was possibly the Americanized version.

Not bothering with posting the picture again. Just indicating where I got the spelling.
