Gale South Beach & Regent Hotel debuts on December 4 following a $34 million restoration. Architecture firm ADD Inc Miami has maintained the 1941 property’s original structure while integrating elements inspired by the sun-drenched villas in the Italian Riviera. Design highlights include imported white Italian marble, custom-designed light fixtures, luxurious leathers, rich European oak and walnut woods-all enveloped by a warm color palette of beach-inspired tans, antiquated chestnut browns, deep cerulean blue, and crisp whites with metallic accents throughout.
The hotel’s roots are honored in a variety of ways, such as reclaimed limestone and terrazzo flooring, hints of the lavish 1940s Shagreen embossed leather appearing in custom furniture pieces, exact replicas of entry light fixtures, 1940s-inspired staff attire designed by Noble Uniforms, and a collection of vintage South Beach photographs and memorabilia from the early 1900’s. In the lobby, an ornate triple-recessed diamond walnut panel sits behind a replicated mirrored Art Deco desk.
Luxury Italian linens, marble bath appointments, and high-tech offerings define the 87 guestrooms and suites. Guests also have access to Dolce Italian restaurant and the Regent Cocktail Club, as well as a private 5,000-square-foot sandblasted Carrera marble-clad rooftop deck offering an infinity pool and city and ocean views.
