W South Beach opened its doors in 2009, quickly changing the hospitality landscape in South Florida with the largest guest rooms in South Beach, each with balconies and expansive ocean views. Since then, it has established itself as a celebrity and influencer magnet, played host to countless events for global brands and been a second home to the most discerning travellers from around the world.
Four years ago, the property underwent a $30 million renovation that incorporated a full redesign of its 353 oceanfront guest suites, complete with a new room flow that created an idyllic transitional oasis where guests go from a sleep haven to a contemporary living room set for entertaining.
Another new introduction was the Away Spa, a 9,000 square foot luxurious beach sanctuary dedicated to wellness and detoxifying spa experiences, and a museum-quality modern art collection.
More recent enhancements include renovated rooftop tennis and basketball courts which have been complemented by the addition of a pickleball court.
From open-air dining to a variety of cuisines, W South Beach offers an array of restaurants featuring culinary and cocktail outposts for every mood. Celebrity favourite Mr Chow offers an iconic blend of contemporary Chinese and theatrical service. Whilst those looking for something a little more casual head to The Restaurant at W South Beach (RWSB), where an American eatery meets an Italian twist for the perfect balance of local flavour and culinary creativity.
Situated on shores of white sand and crystal blue waters, W South Beach is steps away from Miami’s endlessly entertaining melting pot. Explore renowned art galleries, museums, parks, nightlife and an impressive culinary scene.
Meanwhile for those fortunate to be celebrating the festive season at W South Beach, the hotel promises a whole month of festivities. These include Tinsels and Tonics, a festive mixology class where expert bartenders will guide guests in crafting holiday-inspired cocktails, a daily Hot Cocoa Bar and Cookie Decorating and Snow Globe Making workshops. As the sun sets, the Living Room bar will host cocktails and live music.
