The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach recently reopened following a multi-year, $90 million renovation. The expansive changes are noticeable in every area of the property.

“Today, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach — a treasure in the brand’s portfolio and in Miami — returns better than ever with a distinctive design transformation that melds modern touches with the building’s beloved Art Deco design,” said Sase Gjorsovski, general manager, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. “Given the tremendous thought that has gone into this $90 million renaissance, I’m confident that leisure travelers, business travelers, and groups alike will find our ‘big reveal’ well worth the wait.”

New interiors are warm and inviting, inspired by Miami’s natural bounty and the property’s history. A new lobby features elegant and modern touches and an adjacent bar serves vintage cocktails in a classic lounge setting. A new restaurant, Fuego y Mar, serves Latin American cuisine. DiLido Beach Club provides dining on the water.

“The design of the public spaces was inspired by the history of the building itself,” said Meg Sharpe, designer. “By upholding the integrity of the storied past of the property, we have revealed the architectural base created by the giants of the Art Deco and Mimo styles renowned in Miami. The gentle nod to the past is imbued with modern purpose.”

The new 376 guestrooms and suites feature new soundproofing for an enhanced guest experience. New furnishings and millwork reflect Miami culture. New designs are also featured through the property’s 10,000-square-foot ballroom and 11 meeting and event spaces.

“Culture has been infused into each and every guestroom and meeting space, resulting in an authentic Miami experience,” said Cristian Rubio, designer, HBA. “A relatively new city, Miami’s unique culture has been translated into the hotel with both depth of design and whimsical details that allow guests a feeling of being in the city without having to leave their rooms.”
