Swampy’s Matchbook Wednesday: The Blue Horizon Hotel, Miami Beach
Without an actual address, it’s hard to know where this was. Below is what is at 89th Street and the beach today. The building on the right is too new. The one on the left may have been The Blue Horizon.
So I remember clearly when I was about 7 years old (must have been around 1966) that we visited the Blue Horizon hotel and in the pool area there was a soda automat…I remember being fascinated by the big buttons you had to push to make your soda selection, started pressing them and, without having inserted any money, out comes a can of Sprite. A free soda…what a conquest! Nice hotel in the era when most hotels on MB where more like motels (except for the Fountainbleu of course).
The Blue Horizon was on 74th St and Ocean Terrace.
