Royal Palm South Beach Reopens After $100 Million Transformation

Royal Palm South Beach , the inaugural property in Marriott's Tribute Portfolio, is now open following a comprehensive $100 million-plus transformation — marking the return of one of South Beach's most iconic hotels. Originally built in 1939 , the Art Deco landmark at 1545 Collins Avenue has been reimagined from the ground up while preserving the architectural details that define its legacy.

"As Royal Palm reopens, it represents more than a transformation. It is a cultural return of one of South Beach's defining landmarks," said Royston Brady , General Manager. "What makes this moment significant is that we are not only preserving its legacy but actively shaping how a new generation will experience the destination."

Designed by Coral Gables-based EoA Group , the redesign draws from Miami's full cultural landscape — the geometry of South Beach Art Deco, the expressive energy of Wynwood, and the layered identity of Little Havana. Original architectural anchors are woven into the guest experience, including the preserved compass rose on the original Terrazzo lobby flooring and the original green glass reception desk, now reimagined as the Compass Rose Coffee Counter .

The hotel features 404 newly redesigned guestrooms and suites across three oceanfront towers — East, West, and Lanai — rising 17 stories above Miami Beach. Accommodations range from Classic Kings and Oceanfront Kings with full balconies to Bungalow Suites and expansive two-bedroom suites with sweeping ocean views. The resort also offers a private pool, direct beach access, and 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space.

Four distinct food and beverage concepts anchor the property. The Paloma Club brings coastal Latin cuisine and agave-forward cocktails to the pool deck. Compass Rose is a Cuban-inspired coffee counter rooted in the rituals of Little Havana. Mixed Company , the indoor-outdoor lobby bar, is a rum-forward cocktail destination with Asian-inspired small plates. Cositas is an all-day market with curated grab-and-go items and locally inspired retail. The culinary program is led by Chef Adrian Colameco , with more than 20 years of experience across Forbes Five-Star resorts.

Opening rates start from $399 per night . Florida residents receive 15% off retail rates, 50% off valet parking, and a discounted resort fee of $40. The Return of an Icon package includes a two-night stay in a Studio Suite, a coconut-infused welcome cocktail, a branded beach tote with curated local goods, and a daily $100 dining credit.
