Miami’s storied hotel The Raleigh is this week’s Project of the Week, just ahead of its slated reopening in 2025. The thoughtful revival of the 84-year-old property by Rosewood is set to restore the famed Art Deco building to its former glory.

An icon of the Art Deco District

The Raleigh’s revival is spearheaded by renowned real estate development firm SHVO. Acclaimed architect and interior designer Peter Marino has been selected to helm the property’s highly anticipated restoration, embracing the vibrant neighbourhood’s Art Deco District and storied past. 

The hotel was constructed in the 1940s by Miami architect Lawrence Murray Dixon and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. 

Rosewood The Raleigh will be complemented by adding its two historic neighbours, the Richmond and South Seas Hotels, with each building’s historic Art Deco facade restored and integrated into the 60-room and suite property.

The contemporary new tower adjacent to The Raleigh will house the Rosewood Residences Miami Beach, featuring 44 private homes with unobstructed ocean views and prime ocean proximity.

These three distinct components will aim to reinvigorate the property as a Miami icon once more. 

The Raleigh’s famed gathering places, the Martini Bar and Tiger Room will be restored and reborn with an eye for both Miami’s historic Art Deco elegance and its modern roots. The hotel will also include the addition of Asaya, Rosewood’s forward-thinking wellness concept.

Prime Miami location

Located at 1775 Collins Avenue, the re-imagined, three-acre retreat has 220 feet of ocean frontage.

“As the steward of Miami’s most iconic property, The Raleigh, I am thrilled to partner with preeminent luxury hotel brand, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, and world-renowned architect Peter Marino to reimagine and secure the rich legacy of The Raleigh, creating a new, unparalleled hospitality experience in Miami Beach,” says Michael Shvo, Chairman and CEO of SHVO.

“We are excited to introduce the hotel as well as the residences at The Raleigh, which offer the unique opportunity, for the first time ever, to live on the property.”

Rosewood has affirmed its commitment to preserving the hotel and will work closely with the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board.

The revival will focus on a meticulous restoration that includes Miami’s most iconic swimming pool known for its curvaceous design and tropical foliage. 

“At Rosewood, we are committed to preserving historical gems that truly embody their destinations, while also breathing new life into the properties,” says Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. 

“Our commitment to the local community is to ensure that The Raleigh honours its legacy for locals and visitors to once again relish this long-cherished property.”
