The Four Ambassadors

Summary

The Four Ambassadors is a four-tower condominium community at 801, 825, 905 and 999 Brickell Bay Dr, built in the late 1960s on Biscayne Bay. It has two pools, a marina, restaurants, a spa and a beauty salon on site, and units are leased by their individual owners, including through an on-site company authorized to book stays under six months alongside standard year-long leases.
