South Beach Marriott is nearing completion of a six-month, $9 million redesign. Led by Jeffrey Beers International, the transformation is expected to debut by the end of the year.
Finding inspiration in its Ocean Drive address, Jeffrey Beers intends to introduce a luxurious, yet residential feel to the hotel.
“Our goal was to embrace the hotel’s striking beachfront location by bringing the freshness of the sea inside,” says Beers. “We did this by carefully curating a selection of modern, custom finishes that help create an open and light-filled space while also establishing an inviting, high-end residential atmosphere.”
The design will utilize a color scheme that features a crisp palette of white complemented by neutral gray. Accents of orange and brown will add warmth to the guestrooms and stylized, color-processed photographs will reflect the beachfront vistas. Surfboards inspired the sinuous custom built-ins, rendered in whitewashed oak and white lacquer. Modern amenities, including integrated LED lights and large, flat screen televisions, balance out the design.
In the bathrooms, new glass showers will replace existing tubs and feature rainforest showerheads and handheld shower fixtures, while porcelain tile with a marbled pattern and narrow slivers of white marble tile will replace floor and wall coverings.
The Concierge lounge will also be reinvented with the addition of a buffet island centered among sky-blue banquettes and gray lounge chairs. Located on the 11th floor, its two spacious terraces with new high-top tables and plush outdoor couches overlook Miami Beach.
The transformation will be carried through on every floor with refreshed elevator foyers as well as new, chic furnishings and fixtures for both lobby levels.
