Canal-side nautical hangout
The hotel trades Art Deco nostalgia for sleek nautical lines and relaxed lounging along Collins Canal.
“crafted a sleek, strikingly modern structure that evokes a luxury liner in shape, with glass to help flood the interiors with natural light.”
Where it shines
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
In the typical Kimpton manner the Palomar is attractive, but wears its stylishness lightly, and goes out of its way to feel approachable.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Sunset Harbour's cafés and fitness studios surround the canal, and Lincoln Road is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms wrap around a central atrium, and selected spaces open onto private balconies overlooking Collins Canal.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The two-tiered rooftop pool is lined with cabanas and sun loungers overlooking Biscayne Bay.
The gym and yoga deck
The gym is stocked with cardio equipment and weights, and yoga mats roll out on the rooftop turf.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Breakfast is served in the café beside the lobby, and sunny tables sit along the canal terrace.
How it began
Architect Kobi Karp shaped the structure to evoke a luxury yacht hull tilted on its side.
