Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
South Beach sands sit one block to the east, and the pedestrian promenade of Lincoln Road is just as close.
The rooms
Rooms come in crisp blue-and-white tones with vintage monochrome photos and polished white marble bathrooms.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped loungers surround the rooftop infinity pool, looking out over the Art Deco skyline toward the Atlantic Ocean.
The gym
Peloton bikes and strength machines equip the fitness room, and complimentary cruiser bicycles are ready for South Beach rides.
At the table
Santorini by Georgios serves Greek seafood and mezze across white-clothed tables beneath woven pendant lights.
Art Deco comes with an Italian twist at the newly refurbished Gale South Beach, a landmark hotel built by architectural visionary L. Murray Dixon…
How it began
Built in 1941 as two separate sister properties, the Gale and Regent were joined by a skybridge in 1964.
“Inside, the decor evokes 1940s–1960s style, with throwback typography, black-and-white family photos, newspaper clippings, and mid-20th-century memorabilia providing atmospheric design touches.”
