Vibe
Dogs get their own third-floor WOOFTOP area, a playful touch at this Collins Avenue base near Lincoln Road.
“Poolside canine haven”
Refreshed rooms draw on Florida sunlight, with new furnishings across communal terraces.
Third-floor poolside cabanas share rooftop space with the WOOFTOP dog area.
Deck Sixteen connects a third-floor bar with an indoor lounge and terrace.
On Collins Avenue near Lincoln Road, amid South Beach dining, shopping, and beach traffic.
“These are people who aren’t afraid of a bit of modernist furniture and the occasional bold splash of color — a fact which is reflected in the Hyatt Centric South Beach’s interiors.”
Rooms
The 2024 room refresh takes its cues from Florida sunlight and nearby Lincoln Road, rather than a conventional Art Deco scheme.
Wellness
The outdoor rooftop pool sits on the third-floor deck and opens sunrise to sunset, with cabanas subject to availability.
Backstory
The glass tower rises above the retained front of the former Tropical Gardens apartment building, whose rear was approved for demolition.
Eat & drink
Deck Sixteen serves seasonal small plates and cocktails on the third floor, where the bar connects with an indoor lounge and terrace.
The neighborhood
Lincoln Road’s pedestrian shopping street is a block north, with Española Way’s restaurants nearby and beach access across Collins Avenue.

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.
