If Miami does one thing well, it’s big, bold, beachfront luxury. 1 Hotel South Beach is all of that and more…
The extra-high ceilings, soft neutral tones, and signature 1 Hotels scent instantly make you drop your shoulders and switch into vacation mode. It’s warm, sexy, beachside sophistication truly embodies what Miami is all about.
Room
The rooms at 1 Hotel South Beach are a masterclass in eco-luxury. Natural materials, large open spaces, and a real sense of calm. Large floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the city or Atlantic Ocean, while reclaimed wood headboards (from beetle-kill pine) and live-edge desks bring organic texture into each guestroom.
Sustainably sourced linens, soft organic cotton and yoga mats come standard, as do filtered water taps to eliminate the need for plastic bottles. Each bathroom is outfitted with Bamford bath products made from naturally derived ingredients for that pure, natural indulgence.
Pools
The pool scene at 1 Hotel South Beach is pure Miami magic. Think four stunning pools, each serving a different mood. The adults-only rooftop pool steals the show with jaw-dropping ocean views and a chic, members-club vibe. The Centre Pool is the buzzing heart of the hotel. Oversized, palm-lined, and made for long, lazy days in the sun. Tucked away above it, the Cabana Pool brings laid-back luxury with shaded hideaways. And for a dose of tranquillity, the South Pool delivers calm, beach-facing bliss.
Food
There are multiple Instagram worthy restaurants here, including a buzzing rooftop restaurant with a live DJ. However the real highlight is their newest addition AVIV, which is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about dining spots in Miami. Led by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov and restaurateur Steve Cook, AVIV brings modern Middle Eastern food to South Beach in a way that feels fresh, delicious and fun!
Expect smoky charcoal-grilled meats, fluffy Yemenite flatbread, mezze that you inevitably over-order, and a mouthwatering haloumi-baklava dessert. The open kitchen adds a splash of drama, the room has a dreamy garden-terrace vibe, and the cocktails are playful yet unique to the Miami glitz and glamour. A crowd favourite is the creamy hummus.
Wellness & fitness
At 1 Hotel South Beach, wellness gets the full VIP treatment. The Bamford Wellness Spa is the first US outpost of the British Bamford brand, occupying a calm 4,500-sq-ft space that blends nature and luxury. Treatments use organic Bamford body products, and there are 12 treatment rooms, plus a serene “Woodland Room” with a fountain for post-spa reflection.
Just next door is Anatomy, the hotel’s cutting-edge fitness sanctuary. It’s not your basic gym! the program combines strength training, performance science and recovery, offering personal training, group classes (think boxing, yoga, HIIT) and a fitness culture built on performance, community and balance.
Location
1 Hotel South Beach is planted right on Collins Avenue, giving you direct access to the beach, 200 metres of white sand, to be exact. Beyond just the surf, you’re within walking or biking distance of Lincoln Road’s shops and cafés, the iconic Art Deco architecture, and the buzzing cultural neighbourhoods like Little Havana.
What sets the 1 Hotel South Beach apart from is that it feels like luxury with purpose. You get all the high-end finishes, stunning design and premium dining experiences all wrapped up with a sustainability focus. It is truly a modern, elevated luxury that feels right!
