Design Hotel

It's far bigger than previous Thompson Hotels, this Mimai Beach outpost situated inside a deco landmark and twin 60s apartment block along 40th and Collins Avenue. In an area increasingly known as Mid-Beach, neighbors include Soho House and Fountainbleu in a progressively more walkable neighborhood as long as you're not looking for a Starbucks or charming architecture. Inside this vertical sprawl, a sophisticated spin on boho, modern design feels like a page from hipster bible Kinfolk. Mid-century silhouettes are merged with strikingly bold colors and natural woods for livable spaces that opt for style and comfort over momentary trend. The property infuses a thoroughly local feel that includes staff uniforms by local designers, a bar built from a relocated 1930s bungalow led by a Miami mixologist and Seagrape eatery helmed by Michelle Bernstin �" perhaps the city's most talented and famous chef export.  An additional upstairs library bar keeps the music rolling through 2am. Outside, a resort refuge is framed by double lap-pools with preening loungers and sexy, bearded clientele sprawled out on a grassy lawn as DJs spin through sunset most days. 

The Room

Larger than most visitors have come to expect of a Thompson Hotel, the Miami Beach installment is home to 380-rooms designed by UK’s Martin Brudnizki. A polished, retro glamour prevails in entry-level rooms with whimsical oak-trimmed headboards and vivid floral chairs among vintage brass cone lamps and in-room bars for daily in-room happy hours. Larger room categories feature split living and sleeping area with pop art strewn walls, mint green sections and glass doors that open to city or ocean views. Further room perks include gourmet mini bars, Sferra linens and 24-room service delivered by a dapper South Beach staff.
