Vibe
Billowing white curtains frame soaring hexagonal columns in the lobby, where cream hues soften the hotel's famously white palette.
“Billowing white heirloom”
Preserved Art Deco frontage, terrazzo floors and hexagonal columns carry South Beach hotel history.
Billowing white curtains frame soaring columns, with cream interiors softening the signature white palette.
Palm gardens connect Gigi Pool to a serviced beach; poolside bungalows have shaded patios.
On Collins Avenue in South Beach, steps from Lincoln Road’s shops, restaurants, and beach crowds.
“Rooms are bright with crisp linens, light wood flooring and rugs evoking the soft sands below and large, ocean-facing windows.”
Rooms
Two-storey poolside bungalows have covered patios that double as cabanas, with food and drinks served without leaving the shade.
“The 171 guest rooms, including two new penthouse suites and poolside bungalows, have been redone in a lighter, beach-inspired palette; suites come with deep soaking tubs.”
Wellness
The restored Gigi Pool anchors outdoor downtime, while a gym, fitness studio and scheduled beachfront yoga sessions keep guests moving.
Backstory
The pool's 1990s reinvention treated water as furniture, raising it above the ground to create a water salon.
Eat & drink
Gigi Rigolatto serves coastal Italian dishes indoors, on the terrace and poolside, while Rose Bar pours Royal Palomas off the lobby.
The neighborhood
Lincoln Road's shops and restaurants are steps away, and direct boardwalk access puts South Beach's beachfront rhythm on your doorstep.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
