A storied 1939 icon and the first-ever property in the Tribute Portfolio returns, preserving its landmark heritage and unveiling an all-new culinary scene
SOUTH BEACH, Fla., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 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 at a pivotal moment in the evolution of the destination.
Located at 1545 Collins Avenue in the heart of the Art Deco District, just steps away from Lincoln Road and surrounded by landmark architecture, the property sits within one of the most culturally layered corridors in South Beach. Originally built in 1939, Royal Palm has long reflected the story of the destination itself, evolving through decades of architectural significance, cultural change, and reinvention.
"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, Royal Palm South Beach. "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."
THE NEXT ERA OF ROYAL PALM SOUTH BEACH
Royal Palm South Beach, owned by Park Hotels and Resorts (NYSE: PK) and managed by Pivot, features 404 newly redesigned guestrooms and suites across three oceanfront towers, the 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 features a private pool, direct beach access, 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, and a 24-hour fitness center.
Designed by Coral Gables-based, multi-award-winning interdisciplinary design firm EoA Group, the reimagination of the resort preserves and reinterprets key elements of its historic architectural foundation, while introducing a modern sensibility rooted in South Beach's coastal context. Original architectural anchors are reactivated as part of the guest journey, including the preserved compass rose on the original Terrazzo lobby flooring and the original green glass reception desk, now the Compass Rose Coffee Counter.
Design cues are drawn from across Miami's cultural landscape, including the geometry of South Beach Art Deco, the expressive energy of Wynwood, and the layered cultural identity of Little Havana. These influences are expressed through proportion, materiality, color and atmosphere, resulting in a space that feels newly defined, organized around openness, light, and movement, where interior and exterior settings are always in conversation.
A COLLECTION OF MIAMI CULINARY EXPERIENCES
The hotel introduces four distinct food and beverage concepts, each designed as an individual expression of Miami. The Paloma Club anchors the pool deck with coastal Latin cuisine inspired by the flavors of Central and South America, paired with agave-forward cocktails and a sun-soaked, movement-driven atmosphere. Compass Rose, set within a preserved historic space, 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 lush tropical energy and Asian-inspired small plates, drawing on Miami's global influences and social rhythm. Cositas is an all-day market featuring curated grab-and-go items and locally inspired retail that reflects Miami's creative and cultural identity.
The culinary program is led by Chef Adrian Colameco, a nationally recognized culinary leader with more than 20 years of experience across Forbes Five-Star resorts and top hospitality destinations.
A NEW ANCHOR FOR GATHERING IN SOUTH BEACH
With 18,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, Royal Palm South Beach offers seven meeting rooms, a ballroom, and two outdoor venues with retractable awnings and natural light, including newly activated outdoor event terraces that expand the property's al fresco programming. Designed for both intimate gatherings and large-scale celebrations, the property also accommodates weddings and destination events, supported by an in-house AV team. Commissioned works by local and nationally recognized artists further anchor the hotel within Miami's creative and cultural landscape, introducing new and expanded outdoor spaces that extend the event experience into Miami's open-air setting.
