The Raleigh Hotel

Situated majestically on the oceanfront in the heart of Miami's South Beach, The Raleigh hotel is a masterpiece of Art Deco grandeur, built in 1940 and designed by acclaimed architect Lawrence Murray Dixon.

Sister hotel to Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont and The Mercer in New York, this classic luxury boutique hotel in South Beach has undergone a thoughtful renovation by hotelier André Balazs. A consummate mix of style and understatement, of elegance and comfort, of glamour and warmth.

A shady lobby sports a terrazzo floor, fluted Art Deco columns, rattan seating, tall plants and a gentle fountain. An upper-level lobby features chartreuse and blond-wood walls, chess tables and photographs of Hollywood celebrities of yesteryear.

Chez Walters serves French fusion cuisine such as shrimp ceviche, steak frites, fricassee of shellfish and other delicacies. After dark, hurricane oil lamps and hanging wicker-shaded lights cast a sensual ambience over the place.

Rooftop function space is available for special events and unique business meetings. Event catering, complimentary wireless Internet access and business services are provided. The 120-by-70 pool features a cascading waterfall, sprawling tropical gardens, cabanas, hammocks and a fire pit. Massages and spa services are available poolside.

Guestrooms are appointed with terrazzo floors. Rooms display stereo systems, cable television, in-room safes and minibars. Beds are graced with 400-thread-count Egyptian linens and down comforters. Rainforest showerheads, bathrobes and slippers can be found in bathrooms. Convenient extras include complimentary high-speed Internet access and twice daily maid service.

The Raleigh Hotel features what Conde Nast Traveler has called "One of the Sexiest Pools in America," one of the world's most photographed pools.
