When the WinterHaven Hotel Miami opened in 1939 it was advertised as an ultra modern hotel with large outside rooms, a skytop solarium, spacious lobby and mezzanine, large veranda overlooking the ocean, and "$1 per night" rates. The meticulous restoration has preserved everything except the $1 per night rates! The WinterHaven Hotel Miami Beach was designed by Albert Anis, one of the top Art Deco architects, in the streamlined style of the day. The WinterHaven's restoration focused on the hotel's dramatic double-height lobby, winding staircase, original glass-ball railings and multi-level mezzanine. Decorative details such as the ornate Chinese mirrored panels, and the etched glass recessed wall panels were meticulously restored. Exact replicas were made of the original chandeliers, sconces, and maple and mirror registration desk. A new wood and glass bar curves along one wall. The Art Deco interior is stylish yet understated to allow the architecture to shine. The new furniture combines maple, leather and fabric. The aerodynamic club chairs are clothed in russet leather, with sofas and dining chairs upholstered in deep jewel tones - garnet, aquamarine, emerald and amethyst
The WinterHaven's meeting and reception facilities can accommodate anywhere from 10 to 60 people. The wide, wrap-around patio is ideal for dining or drinks. The bright, airy multi-level mezzanine at the WinterHaven Miami Beach accommodates meetings and private parties. The WinterHaven Hotel Miami features: wireless high-speed internet; an elegant full-service Martini bar; continental breakfast of pastries, orange juice, coffee and tea; beach chairs and towels; discount gym passes; valet parking; concierge service; same day laundry service; and shoe shine. The rooftop sundeck at the WinterHaven Miami Beach has sweeping views of South Beach.
