GRAND HYATT SELECTED FOR THE NEW MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTRE HEADQUARTER HOTEL

A Grand Hyatt Miami Beach is set to enhance Miami Beach’s Convention Centre’s District with new public spaces, improved connectivity, and privately funded infrastructure and resiliency upgrades.

The development team behind Miami Beach’s new Convention Centre hotel has announced that an 800-room property will be operated by Hyatt under the luxury Grand Hyatt brand, when it opens to guests in 2024/2025. Grand Hyatt Miami Beach will create a new hospitality option for visitors attending events at the adjacent Miami Beach Convention Centre, which underwent a $600 million renovation that was completed in 2019. The 17-story hotel will be situated at the intersection of 17th Street and Convention Centre Drive, within walking distance of the beachfront, Lincoln Road Mall, New World Symphony, The Bass Museum and The Fillmore Miami Beach.

The new hotel will become only the second Grand Hyatt property in Florida, joining Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. It will be designed by internationally acclaimed architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia and his firm, Miami-based Arquitectonica. The team also includes partner Craig Robins of Dacra, who is the visionary behind the Miami Design District and helped revive Miami Beach’s Art Deco District in the 1990s; Stonehill Taylor, which is designing the hotel’s interior lobby and lounges, ballroom and meeting rooms, hotel rooms and all common areas; EOA, which is designing the pool deck hospitality features of the hotel; and Arquitectonica GEO, which is creating lush pedestrian promenades and landscapes.

Hotel features are expected to include 12 floors of guest rooms offering views of Miami Beach, two floors of meeting spaces and ballrooms that will complement the Convention Centre, a resort-style pool deck with panoramic views, and limited retail space that will activate the district at street level. An elevated skybridge will enable event attendees to move freely between the hotel and Convention Centre in a climate-controlled, art-filled corridor.

Plans also include landscaped pedestrian promenades on surrounding streets, bike sharing stations, connectivity with public transit routes, dedicated ridesharing pick-up and drop-off zones, and direct access between the Convention Centre and Lincoln Road. The project’s resiliency and sustainability measures include storm water management and reuse, flood risk mitigation, and the use of solar power – all of which are designed to ensure operational continuity during weather events.
