What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel’s finest original features remain, they’re just updated: the oak bar in the Blues Bar, reupholstered barrel chairs in the lobby, chrome light fixtures illuminating the hallways.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Collins Avenue, the oceanfront boardwalk is just steps away, with Lincoln Road dining and nightlife close by.
The rooms
Custom sapele hardwood furniture and chrome accents define tower rooms, while cabana suites open onto private pool-facing terraces.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 205-foot infinity pool stretches past native palms and striped loungers, running straight toward the oceanfront.
Gym and massage
Open-air cabanas host poolside massages and hot stone therapy, steps from a mirrored gym with cardio machines and weights.
Dogs stay too.
Bar 1939 & Lobby Lounge
Drinks are poured over a carved Art Deco counter, with live piano music drifting across the blue velvet banquettes.
At the table
Spanish tapas and paellas arrive on a covered terrace fringed with tropical greenery, looking out over the pool.
How it began
Architect Roy France designed the 1939 landmark, where a poolside marble compass still points directly toward Havana.
