With decades of iconic style and undeniable flair, Balfour Miami Beach makes its grand entrance into Registry Collection Hotels, adding a splash of classic Art Deco cool to the brand’s curated lineup of independent gems. The 82-room South of Fifth landmark is where golden-era glamour meets modern Miami sophistication, ushering in a bold new chapter for one of the city’s most celebrated and beloved destinations.

A fixture of South Beach since 1940, the hotel’s history—complete with its pastel facades and terrazzo details—remains at its heart, now radiating a vibrant, modern spirit that feels unmistakably Miami. With its inviting pool terrace, onsite culinary offerings, and breezy social spaces, the hotel captures the playful spirit of the city, just steps from vibrant streets and sun-drenched beaches.

A Legacy of Style, a Destination of Its Own

Designed in 1940 by Art Deco architect Anton Skislewicz, the hotel spans two lovingly restored buildings connected by a palm lined courtyard. Rooms and suites balance mid-century character with luxurious comforts: including herringbone floors, Frette Italian linens, marble walk-in rain showers, in-room Lavazza coffee, and bath amenities from The Botanist & The Chemist.

For guests looking to fill their days with sun and sand, the hotel offers complimentary beach chairs just steps from the Atlantic. Culinary moments come courtesy of on-site restaurant, Laurel, where Mediterranean-inspired dishes meet the flavor of South Beach, and SoFi Coffee, the hotel’s relaxed artisanal cafe. Guests can cruise the neighborhood on complimentary bicycles, unwind with weekend wellness sessions, and bring along their four-legged companion with the hotel’s pet-friendly offerings.

A Distinct Addition to the Registry Collection Hotels Portfolio
