Wyndham Rebrands Shelborne South Beach Hotel in Miami

Following an extensive, multi-million dollar renovation, the Shelborne South Beach in Miami, Florida, has been rebranded as the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach.

The oceanfront hotel is located on Collins Avenue in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco district, steps from dining, nightlife, shopping and beaches.

The Art Deco property, designed by architect Igor Polevitsky and later updated by Morris Lapidus, first opened in 1940 and was known for decades as one of the most sophisticated and popular resort destinations in South Beach.

The 200-room Shelborne Wyndham Grand features four on-site restaurants and bars, including Morimoto South Beach, internationally acclaimed Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s flagship eatery in Miami; revamped guestrooms and meeting spaces designed by Richard Mishaan; restored public areas conceived by designer Meg Sharpe; exclusive pool and beach access; a Blue Harmony spa; and extensive event space.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the Wyndham name to South Beach and it’s particularly special to do so with such a legendary property,” said Bob Loewen, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Wyndham Hotel Group, which has managed the hotel’s operations since February 2013. “This reimagined, high-end destination will offer services, amenities and experiences that reflect Miami’s unique culture and lifestyle, while also representing the excellence and distinctive offerings for which Wyndham Grand properties around the world are known.”

The hotel’s guest rooms feature decor inspired by vintage cars from the 1950s, city or ocean views and 46-inch Interactive Smart Samsung televisions with mobile device connectivity via the Shelborne Wyndham Grand app, which provides guests with access to hotel amenities.

Direct beach access, located just steps from the hotel, is available through the private beach club. An oceanfront pool and lounge area offers drink cart service, daily activities and exclusive, air-conditioned cabanas with entertainment centers, full bathrooms and private mixologists.

Shelborne Wyndham Grand’s reinvention also includes 15,000 square feet of expanded event areas that include meeting rooms, an executive boardroom, breakout rooms, a grand ballroom and extensive, flexible outdoor space.
