We look forward to welcoming back our guests and local community to a completely new and bold hotel, embodying the distinctly native experience and expressive nature of the Andaz brand, while still capturing the essence of Miami Beach.”

This first Andaz hotel in Florida will increase Hyatt’s brand footprint and leads the way for new growth in one of the most visited leisure markets in the world. With 29 global properties and more on the horizon, the Andaz brand continues to expand with a focus on inviting its guests to connect with their innermost curiosities and awaken to new experiences within their environment.

With three towers overlooking the beach, the hotel will offer the first-of-its-kind ocean view check-in experience in Miami Beach, a reinvention of all culinary offerings and dynamic spaces including the restaurant outdoor terrace and a second level outdoor Andaz Lounge, which will be a bar-forward destination designed to become the veritable living room of the neighborhood, with a palpable energy and authenticity that will invite guests and locals to gather, socialize and share ideas in a comfortable and informal setting. The property will offer 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event experience space from ballrooms with ocean views to a pool equipped with technology that converts the space to a hard surface for gathering and activations within minutes.
