Gary E. Handel's 70-storey Brickell tower with Tara Bernerd interiors — 221 hotel keys on floors 8 through 29, three Fernando Botero bronzes anchoring the lobby, and a 2-acre poolside palm grove that ranks among downtown Miami's most genuinely private amenities. EDGE Brasserie runs the main dining room under Chef Edouard Deplus; the 50,000 sq ft spa is operated in partnership with Equinox.

Thirteen residential-style suites on the fourth floor of Miami Design District's historic Moore Building, awarded one Michelin Key for an intimate hotel experience embedded in the city's most design-concentrated urban block.

An upscale beachfront South Beach property opened in 2014, its bohemian-beach chic concept and ocean-view rooftop pool positioning it within the Art Deco neighbourhood's luxury hotel spectrum.
