The house
LoewsArt Deco oceanfront resort
The property channels classic South Beach energy on a grand scale, leading from restored 1930s architecture out to the oceanfront pool.
“The recently renovated Loews Miami Beach opened nearly two decades ago and helped spark the development of now-burgeoning South Beach.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Air-conditioned SOAK cabanas border the zero-entry oceanfront pool and Atlantic sands.

What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The hotel’s most recent renovation focused exclusively on the guest rooms and dining options, including new flooring and upgraded bathrooms in each room.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Collins Avenue sits right outside, with Lincoln Road's pedestrian promenade two blocks away and the beach boardwalk running directly behind.
The rooms
Rooms take on soft sand and sea-glass tones with marble walk-in showers, and select suites look out over the ocean.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freeform swimming pool has a palm-tree mosaic and an adult jacuzzi, lined with daybeds and private cabana decks.
The spa
Therapists in the St. Moritz Tower use seaweed extracts and OSEA skincare across sixteen private treatment rooms.
The gym and baths
Technogym cardio machines overlook tropical greenery, and separate locker rooms each hold an individual whirlpool and steam room.
Bar
Bistro Collins
The central lobby lounge serves coastal plates with Latin American flavors, and bartenders mix cocktails beneath an overhead liquor gantry.
At the table
Rao's serves family-style Neapolitan classics in the St. Moritz Tower, and Nautilus pours frozen drinks on the pool deck.
How it began
Architects built a modern tower around the 1939 St. Moritz Hotel, marking Miami Beach's first new hotel in over thirty years.
