A multimillion-dollar makeover of a legend in 2014 resulted in the Shelborne South Beach, a luxury lifestyle resort in the Art Deco District of Miami Beach, Florida. When first opened in December 1940, the Shelborne exemplified the ultramodern international style, which, together with the beachfront location, drew decades of celebrities to its portals. Today, with the international style once again at a peak of popularity, the hotel still flaunts its retro glamour, one step from the sand but also two blocks from the trendy street scene of Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road, as well as the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Guests meeting or partying at home gather in 15,000 square feet of newly renovated event space: The 4,388-square-foot Grand Eldorado Ballroom, plus The Continental, The Rambler, The Boardroom, and The Marine Deck. After business, banquets, or nights on the town, they retire to a choice of 200 guest rooms, suites, and townhomes. All feature chic new appointments, and many feature balconies overlooking the crystal waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The highlights continue with three restaurants (operated by world-famous Iron Chef Morimoto), the Blue Harmony Spa, a 24-hour fitness center, and 11 private cabanas at the beachfront pool. Designed for VIPs seeking the ultimate in star treatment, the cabanas provide posh seating areas, air-conditioning, TVs, Wi-Fi, bathrooms with showers, and discreet but attentive service just steps from the pool and beach.

The hotel is fabulous. We had some problems with meeting space due to the fire dept. testing fire pumps over our meeting dates but the CSM and hotel staff went out of their way to make it the best experience they could for our attendees.

Everything, start to finish, went very well. My client was happy and told me her CEO said it was the best hotel experience they have had at the boat show thus far.
